Sphalerite (2 generations - old classic)

Item Description

Two generations of sharp, lustrous, sphalerite crystals cover three sides of this impressive large old-time monolith from the Oklahoma portion of the famed Tri-State District. Striking, stepped, jet-black crystals, to 2.0 cm, cover the front and one side. The far fewer large crystals on the back let the earlier generation of gorgeous, smaller, gemmy, orange-red crystals shine forth. The other edge is contacted. This outstanding large old-timer displays beautifull without aid. Valued at $1000-1250 for size, aesthetics and quality of crystallization.
