Lustrous, sharp and gemmy crystals of a deep amber hue, with some platy barites accenting them, on a contrasting white matrix. Sphalerites measure to about one cm. This is a beautiful combination piece, much better in person…you just do not usually see these sphalerites set off so nicely from here. 9.5 x 7 x 4.5 cm
