Item Description

Lustrous, striated, twinned, jet-black, sphalerite crystals form a showy, rich and excellent, 3-dimensional, large specimen from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. One end features numerous rosettes of small flattened calcite rhombs as a nifty accessory. Sphalerites of the size and quality are relatively uncommon from this famous district. Older material. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection.
