Item Description
Backlighting reveals the glorious rich golden-orange and golden-yellow color of the four impressive isolated sphalerite crystals dramatically set on the topline of the sculptural large arched two-sided mounded matrix covered with small frosted amethyst points. The striking large beautifully placed central sphalerite is 3.5 x 3.2 cm and they are all pristine. The lustrous crystals are translucent yellow-green to lustrous metallic gray under normal light. Golden chalcopyrite sphenoids, to 9 mm, matte gray galena cubes, to 7 mm, and clusters of small frosted quartz points are typical and excellent accessories. Ex Lee Burnett Collection of Morrison, Colorado. Outstanding aesthetics and sculptural quality. Superb specimens of this combination quality from the Emperius Mine at Creede are RARELY on the market. Valued at $1750-2000.
