Item Description
A 4.4 x 3.5 cm cm, "ball" of splendent, twinned rubyjack sphalerite crystals is very aesthetically attached near to the end of a CABINET sliver of matrix. The silicified limestone matrix is covered with sparkly drusy quartz and small calcite rhombs. There is even a 3 mm purple fluorite cube attached at the base of the back of the ball. This is an outstanding and pristine sphalerite ball with striking gemminess from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. This fine piece displays well from several angles, as you can see. Get a really good one, while you can. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
