From the “Last Pocket” recovered at the original workings of the Sweet Home Mine before its permanent closure in 2004, comes this sharp large (nearly 5.5 cm across) rhomb. While not the most lustrous crystal, this is still a very impressive crystal with great color. Backlights very well. A historic specimen that represents the end of one of the mineral world’s most exciting mining projects.
