This piece features large deep red-orange sphalerite crystals that contrast nicely with the druzy quartz coated matrix. Lustrous and translucent, in good condition. I note a couple dinged sphalerites that are not overly distracting. The Shuikoushan Mine has been producing gorgeous honey-yellow to red sphalerite specimens for the last 25 years or so, but they have become harder to come by.
