Item Description
Fine combination specimens from Naica are a Mexican classic. This very showy, mounded specimen is dominated by highly lustrous, twinned, jet-black, sphalerite crystals. A very well-placed, 2.0 cm, etched, colorless fluorite octahedron, a few splendent, metallic-gray galena crystals and the striking, rich scatterings of nifty, dogtooth calcite sprays complete this very fine and rich ore specimen. Excellent material from the Dave Stoudt Mexican Collection.
