Sphalerite with Dolomite and Fluorite

Item Description

Sphalerite is very much an under appreciated species from the famous Elmwood Mine, where golden Calcite and purple Fluorites reigh. This outstanding and aesthetic example features a very lustrous, complete all-round cluster of twinned, "Ruby Jack" Sphalerite crystals adorably perched atop a pedestal of lustrous, saddle-shaped Dolomite crystals. There are even two, small purple Fluorite cubes at the base of the Dolomite. Complete all-around and very, very nearly pristine, with only super-trivial edge wear at a couple of spots on the Sphalerite. Every turn presents a new perspective to this fine display piece. The Sphalerite shows great color when strongly backlit.
