Weird DT Sphalerite twin (NEW FIND)

Item Description

A fantastic unusual looking doubly terminated sphalerite crystal from a NEW FIND in Chifeng Prefecture, in the area of the famous Huanggang Mine. The striking sculptural 360-degree black to chocolate-brown crystal has multiple twinning planes, that accentuate the bright metallic lustre of the layered swirling faces. The impressive pock marks add much pizzazz and the remnant snow-white feldspar shows, that these indentations were once filled with felspar, since dissolved away. Every turn presents a different aspect to this surreal sphalerite from a new find.
