Item Description
Intergrown, lustrous and translucent, orange colored crystals of sphalerite have formed rosettes, reaching 2.75 cm across. Both the luster and color are superb. A recent donation to the museum from 1990s finds but nevertheless a really nice piece, gifted or not! I have seen similar for sale for $1000-ish
