Item Description

A unusual specimen of stalactitic Sphalerite coated by sugary golden-grey colored Quartz from the famous Pribram region. This piece comes with a photocopy of a label from the Bohemian Museum, and is honestly the only one like it that we can remember seeing. This is an interesting example of this unusual material from Pribram, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
