A wonderful old classic from this famous mining district. A lustrous sharp twinned crystal of sphalerite 3.0 cm in size is set perfectly up on a matrix covered by light pink crystals of dolomite and golden iridescent crystals of chalcopyrite. This is in good condition with just slight micro-chipping present. This would have been collected pre-1968.
