A sharp and lustrous grouping of sphalerite crystal on dolomite matrix from the famous Elmwood Mine. While the famous calcite and fluorite specimens often overshadow the other species found at the mine, the sphalerites are equally impressive. This is a fine specimen in fantastic condition with a minor pyrite association. Very nice for the species! Slightly gemmy.
