Item Description
This is a very distinctive Creede Quartz and sulfide association specimen. The Sphalerite crystals are sharp, somewhat lustrous, black, striated tetrahedrons which are associated with milky white Quartz crystals making for a nice contrast. You do not see these specimens any more, and they are some of the most classic specimens from Colorado. This piece came from the Richard A. Kosnar collection and was mined in 1957 by Bob Hartman.
