Quartz on Sphalerite stalactite (excellent!) ex Obodda

Item Description

A stunning quartz and sphalerite combination from the famous mines of the Huaron District. Water-clear, tapered quartz prisms of all sizes dramatically envelope the stalactite of barely visible, lustrous, jet-black sphalerite crystals. A sphalerite crystals pokes out of the top! Every rotation of the beautiful hedgehog of slender quartz points to 3.1 cm presents a different perspective. The balance and aesthetics are excellent and there are very few broken quartz crystals, for such dense coverage. Pieces of this exceptional quality came out in the mid-1980s. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock, who priced this glorious piece at $350 at least five years ago, or more probably longer. A must for the quartz of locality collector. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
