A fabulous old tri-state sphalerite specimen, with not only a huge, wonderfully formed crystal dominating the specimen, but in the foreground, a field of deep red "ruby-jack" sphalerites, so lustrous they look wet! Large crystal has a natural contact face in back where removed from the matrix. An old label that came with it says "1966." 7.3 x 5.7 x 4.7 cm
