Item Description
A cool association specimen from the collection of Harold Urish. Several sharp, lustrous, gemmy, colorless prisms of Quartz sit atop jet black crystals of tetrahedral Sphalerite with coated / oxidized crystals of Chalcopyrite plus minor cubic crystals of Pyrite. The specific mine where the piece was discovered is unknown, but the quality and cool association of a few sulfides with a beautiful grouping of Quartz on the top.
