Crystals of Sphalerite with very marked parallel and polycrystalline growths, with the predominant forms of the tetrahedron with slight curvatures on the faces and edges. One of them is dominant and completely transparent and with very high brilliance and excellent caramel color. This piece comes from some small-scale finds made in the mine after it had already closed. There is currently no more access to the galleries. A jewel.
