Item Description
A classic and very aesthetic, old-time combination piece from the famous Tri-State District of Oklahoma. A sharp, 3.2 cm, doubly terminated, blocky, lustrous sphalerite is dramatically set on the undulating matrix of pastel-pink, saddle-shaped dolomite rhombs. Smaller sphalerites and a rich dusting of tiny, brassy, chalcopyrite sphenoids are a super accent. There's chert on the back side, too. Pristine, very choice material from the historic Picher Field.
