Description

Very fine large "ruby jack" sphalerite crystals on both sides of a triangle shaped matrix. An impressive, large sized old tri-state sphalerite specimen, with wonderfully formed sphalerite crystals, building a field of several dozens of deep red "ruby-jack" sphalerites. Very lustrous overall, some of them are transparent, blood red to deep green, when backlit.

The largest Picher mine specimen I have ever handled here in Europe. It comes from the former collection Kasper (CH). The lucky customer gets its original label as well.
