Description
Superb, gemmy to translucent burnt toffee orange-brown Sphalerite crystals are clustered over stubby, sharp pyramidal crystals of white Quartz which cap a massive milky Quartz matrix. This excellent small cabinet specimen is from Banská Štiavnica (Schemnitz) in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia, a deposit of precious and base metals hosted in an epithermal vein-like ore body. The multi-faced Sphalerite crystals measure to 8 mm and the majority are this size. This is a terrific example of well crystallised Sphalerite from Banská Štiavnica.\n
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
