Description

This fine and glistening specimen features numerous of excellent shaped and sharp crystals of dark brown, rich in iron Sphalerite from the classic. The Sphalerite is multifaced and highly lustrous. So far I can see, there is no remarkable imperfection worth to mention. The old mine was reopened by E. Richardson in 1970 and finally abandoned in 1981.
