Item Description
The famous Santa Eulalia District has produced some amazing display specimens over the years. This locality is well-known for its beautiful sulfides and carbonates, and even has produced some impressive pieces of phosphates like Ludlamite. This is a great old historic specimen featuring excellent, sharp, lustrous, well-formed, jet-black colored, "Spinel"-twinned crystals of Sphalerite associated with beautiful translucent, white/colorless compressed crystals Calcite. The piece is in great shape overall, and the quality and form of the Sphalerite twin is textbook! Hard to photograph, but it's really eye-catching in person. No major damage that I can find on the display side, maybe just a few tiny imperfections. The piece is priced in the inventory at $950.
