Item Description

An attractive and classic Sphalerite specimen from this famous locale. Fine, sharp, lustrous, jet black, "Spinel"-twinned crystals are associated with minor gemmy colorless Calcite. The largest Sphalerite twin measures 2.1 cm, and most of the crystals are completely undamaged. I really love the color contrast and overall form of the piece. The somewhat spherical nature of each Sphalerite makes for a good visual arrangement.
