A BIG, brilliantly lustrous, colorful cluster atop contrasting crystallized quartz matrix, from a locality better known for spessartines. In fact, these gorgeous big sphalerites were actually mislabeled as andradite garnet by the Chinese dealer selling them. Minor contact damage to the small crystals and back faces on the large crystal, but complete on the display faces (main xl). 6.8 x 4 x 3 cm
