Pyrrhotite, Quartz & Sphalerite (Sanabria Coll.)

Item Description

An impressive, aesthetic and sculptural large combination from the famous Nikolaevskiy Mine. A striking crowning 4.3 cm cluster of intergrown, lustrous, bronzy, layered, hexagonal pyrrhotite dominates the showy two-sided piece. The matrix includes many more pyrrhotite crystals, black sphalerite crystals and complimentary contrasting quartz crystal sprays. Dal'negorsk is one of the world's great producers of sulfide specimens and this is an excellent large combination example from the Raul Sanabria Collection.
