Two crystals of dark brown sphalerite, the major crystal in the center of the picture and the small one on the left side, both grown on a chalcopyrite crystal, tarnished to a copper-red color, on which some tiny spheres of malachite are grown. The crystal cluster is surrounded by orange siderite crystals. Collection and photo of Gianfranco Ciccolini.
