Item Description
A massive, large for the locale, splendent, jet-black, twinned sphalerite crystal is the focal point of this excellent specimen from this noted Balkan locality. Glassy, lightly etched calcite rhombs and pronounced stepped-growth faces on the sphalerite are excellent accents. Periphery wear is noted, but the large crystal is overall in good shape all-around on this showy and large combination example from this historic locale. Ex Schlichter Collection.
