Sphalerite var. Schalenblende (Ref: AX-35-108)

Eagle Mine, Gilman District, Eagle Co., Colorado, United States
58mm x 36mm x 20mm
minID: P8A-G0V
An oddity from Colorado, this unusual botryoidal Sphalerite is a complete floater, with a dark yellow-green color. This variety (Schalenblende) of Sphalerite is known in a very few other specimens from the Eagle Mine; most Sphalerite from there was the more normal lustrous black crystals. In fine condition, from the collection of Skylar Alverson obtained by him from Charlie Bowman in 1984. Excellent for a Colorado collection and a very rare Sphalerite from any place in the USA.
