Description

Numerous of amber coloured, well developed crystals of Sphalerite accompanied by tabular, six-sided Galena. Both species are sharp edged and lustrous with good terminations. The reason of the amber colour is the lack of iron. Iron actually makes the Sphalerite nearly black. This is a super specimen in splendid condition with only less imperfections.
