Item Description

Classic, highly lustrous, translucent reddish-brown clusters of rubyjack sphalerite crystals are dramatically perched atop sculptural matrix of scintillating tiny quartz points with scattered dolomite rhombs. Complete all-around and in great shape. The sphalerites are pristine, except for the periphery wear on one end and the trivial basal periphery wear to the piece. An exceptionally fine and aesthetic, two-sided sphalerite combination from the famous Elmwood Mine and the Bob Trimingham Collection. Valued at $500-700.
