Killer piece from a recent find of lustrous, olive-brown-green Sphalerite var. Cleiophane crystals. The Cleiophanes are extremely lustrous and very gem, chunky, transparent and with rich color, which contrast very well on the white diadem formed by Calcite cover. They have glassy faces that beautifully reflect the light. Small Galenas, Chalcopyrites and Quartz enrich the display at the top. In excellent condition – some small nicks.

Top quality for the find!
