Description

Sphalerite and siderite from Trepca, Kosovo.

Very shining, small, undamaged black sphalerite in combination with also intensive shining most likely siderite, crystalized to small globule.

Since there are so many small reflecting surfaces I had to reduce light when taking pictures - great brilliance.
