Item Description
This specimen is composed of several, doubly terminated, blocky, splendent, black crystals, to 5.0 cm across, of sphalerite. The growth is reminiscent of a stalactite. Few trivial dings, only, and almost pristine. This is about the highest caliber you can find for the species at this mine with HUGE and well-formed crystals that are so black, they are almost colorful. It is much much better in person and is NOT a typical example. From a choice 1980s collection we obtained in Texas, that was built by highgrading out of Dalton and Conside Prince , back in the time these were coming out. This is an amazing and significant example of Elmwood sphalerite. Valued $1500-2000
