Item Description
Strikingly iridescent, large rubyjack sphalerite crystals are peppered with lustrous, brassy, Chalcopyrite crystals on this excellent, old-time combination specimen from the Joplin Field. The beautiful iridescence ranges from peacock-blue to magenta to golden and really shimmers in light. This is RARE and top-of-the-class iridescence for Joplin sphalerite. Classic material from the Dennis Mullane Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
