Item Description

Supremely splendent, gemmy, twinned, rubyjack sphalerite crystals form a beautifully sculptural specimen on the shard of matrix from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. The upright twins on the large, blocky sphalerite look like lustrous feathers in a headdress. An excellent and classic sphalerite from Elmwood.
