Item Description
A fine quality specimen of Sphalerite from the Stari Trg Mine in Kosovo featuring excellent, very sharp, well-defined, lustrous, jet-black twinned crystals measuring up to 1.6 cm, with a tiny bit of associated Calcite on a very thin layer of matrix. Most of the Sphalerites are in good condition, though I can seen some tiny imperfections here and there with a loupe. The Trepča Complex in Kosovo is a giant lead-zinc-silver deposit located on the slopes of Kopaonik Mountain. The complex comprises over 40 individual mines, but the major producer of fine specimens is the Stari Trg Mine. This locality has yielded excellent crystallized pieces of well-known sulfides, carbonates, Quartz, etc. A lovely example of this well-known and iconic material.
