Heart shaped piece from recent find of big, lustrous, olive-green-brown Sphalerite var. Cleiophane crystals to 17mm, grown on Quartz. The dominant Cleiophanes form excellent focal points and popup nicely. They are chunky, transparent and gem with nice rich color, which contrast very well on the white matrix. They have glassy faces that beautifully reflect the light. Small lustrous and twinned Galenas enrich the display. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Exquisite gem Sphalerite!
