A fascinating and really very aesthetic combo of FOUR Dal'negorsk minerals. On what appears to be a single GIGANTIC compound crystal of sphalerite is a compound crystal of fluorite measuring 3.5 cm across. Beneath this you can see both etched and euhedral faces of galena. And here and there, the gold and purple color is from iridescent chalcopyrite.
