Description:From a small new 2011 Chinese find from this locale, noted for gem sphalerite. A sculptural, two-sided crust of rust-red hematite included in glassy quartz crystals is nicely peppered with highly lustrous and translucent, light amber calcite rhombs. Many more smaller gem-like rhombs are sprinkled down the front. The base of the large rhomb is cleaved, but is only a very modest detraction. Showy and excellent combination material from a new find.
