Item Description

Specimens of any type are rare from this obscure small mine and this is an outstanding and aesthetic combination. Two isolated, highly lustrous, twinned, jet-black sphalerite crystals, to 3.1 cm, are encased in sparkling sprays of tiny quartz points and are nicely accented by small splendent, silver-metallic arsenopyrite crystals on one end. This pristine piece looks great from either side. Ex. Art Soregaroli Collection.
