A UNIQUE and SHOWY, near floater cluster of blocky, sharp, black sphalerite crystals from a very small recent Bolivian find at a NEW locality, the Nanitay Mine. The step-growth sphalerites have a magical chatoyant shimmer that the photos catch only a part of. Fascinating crystals and highly regarded.
