Item Description

Gemmy, highly lustrous, olive-green, sphalerite crystals are nicely accented with lustrous black aegirine crystals on this showy and excellent floater thumbnail from a small find in 2005 at this famous locale. We just unearthed a selection of these from our recent move. Very few of these were combinations including aegirine. This style of Poudrette Quarry sphalerite is rare. Valued at $150.
