Item Description

Mineral specimens from this old silver-lead-zinc deposit are rare and are very seldom on the market. Glassy, transparent to translucent quartz crystals and splendent, jet-black sphalerite crystals attractively cover the quartz crust on this showy and excellent two-sided specimen from this obscure Czech locale. Nearly pristine, with only one lightly bruised quartz crystal. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection # 2565.
