Sphalerite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
A grouping of attractive orange red almost transparent sphalerite crystals with minor calcite. This is naturally crystallized all around. I believe that one could cut stones out of the specimen. See the end of the video when this is backlit. Superb for sphalerite.
