Description

Cabinet specimen of dark brown, globular sphalerite var. schalenblende covered with pyrite. Both species are in good conditions and populate a matrix of spatic calcite (with a small geode on the back of the specimen).

Bad Bleiberg specimens are oldtimes, and this one is no different, as it comes from the collection Weber (CH), which was assembled pre-1951.
