Item Description

The substantial Stari Trg Mine in Kosovo is the principal locality at the larger Trepča Complex. This mine is world-famous for producing excellent crystallized display specimens. Primarily, you'll see a good number of sulfides and carbonates, and this piece is a superb crystallized example of said material. This small cabinet display piece features wonderful, highly lustrous, jet-black, notably well-formed euhedral crystals of Sphalerite measuring up to 2.3 cm, which are associated with minor Quartz and Calcite, plus soft golden metallic pyrite. A few rough spots are visible, but the piece is in very good condition overall. It's hard to convey the quality in photos or a video, but take my word for it, this is a good piece of this well-known and classic material from this prolific locality.
Ex Les Presmyk / De Natura specimen.
