This is a splendid example of the stunningly lustrous, large gem sphalerites found at Lechang a few years back that caused a big stir with glowing orange-red color and complex, glassy faces. There are three crystals here, the largest measuring just under two centimeters. They sit on a gently-curved matrix covered with tiny quartz crystals.
