Item Description

A 7.8 cm "ball" of lustrous, partially translucent, rubyjack sphalerite crystals is the highlight of this showy and excellent large combination from this famed locale. The cluster of tan barite blades and scattered, glassy, near-colorless calcite scalenohedrons on the dense silicified limestone matrix are classic compliments. Periphery wear to the sphalerite, mostly along the bottom, can be strongly minimized by the display view. Classic older combination material from the Consie Prince Collection.
