Description Tabs

Description

Class:

Size Range: 
Small miniature (3-4.5 cm)
Size: 
4 × 3.5 × 3 cm
Description

This miniature is at least 11 years old and it has been trimmed out a bigger damaged piece, when I got my new trimming equipment! As you see, there was a good reason I’ve been keeping a damaged piece. The twinned sphalerite crystal is sharp, with great patterns of striations on the lustrous faces and possesses very high clarity! The deep yellow color glows under slight backlighting and contrasts wonderful on the quartz and galena crystals matrix. There is no visual damage! Please note this piece is from the older 9th of September mine find around 40 years ago and not from the more recent Krushev Dol mine find.
