SUPER-GEMMY and lustrous, olive green sphalerite crystals in clusters and as discrete crystals are AESTHETICALLY scattered on CABINET-SIZED matrix on this SUPERB combination specimen from the Pachapaqui District of Peru. A robust, vuggy crust of pastel-pink, bladed rhodocrhosite is an especially visual contrast to the sphalerite crystals. Some of the sphalerites even have a fire play of color, they are so gemmy.
