Item Description

Greenockite was first discovered in Scotland, and to this day has produced some of the best specimens of the species. The piece features micro yellow crystals of Greenockite with minor Sphalerite and Hemimorphite. I photographed the specimen under the microscope, but keep in mind that this a micro specimen, and it's hard to see the crystals with the naked eye. A cool old time Greenockite specimen.
