Sphalerite & Manganoan Calcite (fluorescent) ex Obodda

Item Description

An impressive, 5.5 cm, sphalerite knob is composed of stunning, intergrown, highly lustrous, trigonal, black crystals. Smaller sphalerite knobs, fields and clusters of starkly contrasting small pearlescent, light pink, manganoan calcite rhombs and the bit of matrix form a most sculptural and excellent combination from the famous mines at Dal'negorsk. Very choice older combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock, as it comes with with 10-20 year-old label of his. Valued by Herb at $700, over 10 years ago. This is a very fine, classic and pristine Dal'negorsk sphalerite combination.
