Attractive specimen of lustrous, olive-green Sphalerite var. Cleiophane crystals to 6mm, grown on thin Quartz crust. The Cleiophanes popup nicely. They are transparent and gem with nice rich color, which contrast very well. They have glassy faces that beautifully reflect the light. Small twinned Galenas enrich the display. In very good condition – some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Exquisite gem Sphalerite!
