Sculpture of one dominant 22mm, black Sphalerite crystal on white carbonate base. Displays well shaped black Sphalerite tetrahedron with good luster. It is sharp with some cavernous formation on the faces and good geometry. Above are growing skeletal Galenas structures and small yellow Chalcopyrite crystals. Some doubly terminated Quartzes enrich the display. In good condition – some nicks and small damages.

Highly aesthetic with excellent focal point!
