A fine specimen featuring lustrous black sphalerite crystals measuring up to 1.5 cm elegantly set upon crystallized quartz. The sphalerite crystals display sharp forms and a bright resinous to metallic luster, contrasting beautifully against the lighter quartz matrix and creating an attractive, well balanced composition. Preserved in great condition, this piece represents the classic mineralogy of Clausthal Zellerfeld, a historic mining center in the Harz Mountains renowned for centuries of silver, lead, and zinc production. The district has long been celebrated among collectors for its well crystallized sulfide minerals, and this example captures the distinctive character and enduring appeal of this important German locality.
