Item Description

A strikingly sharp, lustrous, jet-black sphalerite crystal from the famous Picher Field of the Tri-State District. This superb, large single crystal aesthetically rests on a shard of pastel-pink dolomite crystals. Complete all-around, the frontal view is pristine and the contacting on the lower back is totally out of sight. This is classic, old-time material from Oklahoma and the noted George Feist Collection # 2897. Outstanding for the species and locality. You don"t see isolated singles of this size and quality very often.
