Item Description

Fine, 3-dimensional, combination piece that has superbly lustrous, gemmy, sharp, fiery orange-red Sphalerite crystals. The largest Sphalerite is nearly 2 cm across, and they rest on a bed of well-developed Quartz crystals. To add even more to the quality of this piece, there are nearly a dozen sharp, attractive Galena crystals, the largest of which is .9 cm. This is an aesthetic cabinet specimen that probably came out in the 90's. BETTER AND GEMMIER IN PERSON, even!
