Item Description
A classic specimen featuring fine quality, sharp, well-formed, rich deep reddish-brown color tetrahedral crystals of Sphalerite with the classic "ruby jack" appearance scattered over matrix. The largest crystal measures up to 1.5 cm across. Good quality all the way around, and the piece looks great in person. Classic material from Joplin. Valued at $750. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016) with a label from noted rare species dealer Josef Vajdak. David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
