Item Description

A dramatically sculptural, large matrix sphalerite from the famous Elmwood Mine. Striking clusters of splendent, sharp, twinned rubyjack sphalerite crystals are very artistically set on the stunning matrix of brecciated silicified limestone fragments. One face of the matrix is peppered with tiny dolomite crystals adding pizzazz. The form of this piece is outstanding and the sphalerites are pristine. Multiple great display possibilities here. Choice older material from the 1970s and 80s from the Consie Prince Collection.
