Quartz with Sphalerite

Unknown Owner
Classic combination piece for this locality with colorless needlelike crystals of quartz gemmy in measuring to 3.0 cm in length across the top and sides of a crystallized sphalerite and galena matrix. Slight micro-damage present not atypical of these, I believe that the specimen is still in good condition.
