Item Description

A beautiful, glassy modified tetrahedral/dodecahedral crystal group of very gemmy/transparent Sphalerite with beautiful internal golden and color. Overall, the piece is in good shape, despite being contacted along the sides and back. Rarely does one encounter such impressive clarity in Sphalerite from any world locality, and these are certainly some of the finest pieces out there for what they are.
