Description:This specimen features absolutely pristine gemmy, lustrous sphalerites on gemmy lustrous quartz (which in turn covers an earlier generation of spalerite giving the quartz a red color). Also over the quartz are gemmy lustrous nailhead calcite. The spahalerites are super gemmy, almost suitable for cutting. This specimen is way above average for the species and locality, and a great combo piece.
