Description
A glowing specimen of very gemmy, brilliantly colored sphalerite from a small but classic find of almost a decade ago. Note that these crystals are all GEMMY, and twinned as well. There is some very minor wear and an internal fracture in one crystal (not damage), but overall the piece is in excellent shape and displays like such a killer you would not even guess it was a sphalerite! 2.6 x 2 x 1.25 cm
