Sphalerite on Quartz (Ref: 7077)
Bockswiese | Hahnenklee | Goslar | Harz | Lower Saxony | Germany
82mm x 42mm x 27mm
$214 *
The old mines of the Bockswiese vein, the last of which were closed in 1930, didn´t yield many good specimens, so it´s a great stroke of luck that E. Loorz lived in this place for decades and was able to add some very good pieces from this locality to his collection. In this case, we see milky white, highly lustrous, perfect Quartz crystals measuring up to almost 2 cm. These crystals are associated with extremely contrasting, mirror-bright, and multifaceted, black-brown Sphalerite crystals up to 0.8 cm in size. A truly outstanding and rare piece, which comes with an original Loorz label which states the year of discovery as circa 1900.Data last checked on 14th May 2025 - specimen may no longer be available
