Item Description
An impressive, sharp, splendent jet-black and twinned 5.0 cm sphalerite crystal with a nifty striated face dominates this showy small cabinet combination from this historic precious metal-polymetallic mine in Kosovo. This is a good sized sphalerite crystal for the locale. The cluster of colorless calcite crystals is a sharp contrast and typical association. Sharp and fine except only a small bruise on the upper left of the large crystal , certainly only a modest detraction to the overall appearance. See the 2007 Mineralogical Record article in Vol. 38, No. 4. Pink LW UV calcite fluorescence.
