Sphalerite - gemmy crystals (Ref: 18-AX-418)
ZCA corporation / Pierrepont Mine, Pierrepont, St Lawrence County, New York, United States
22mm x 18mm x 14mm
minID: GLY-694
A very lustrous Sphalerite thumbnail. This is a sharp and fully transparent honey-yellow crystal from a classic Northeastern US Locality. The ZCA Mine in Saint Lawrence County has been the source of many fine minerals. This specimen is twinned as seen and has several complex growth structures on some faces as well as some flat glass-like ones as well. A few rough edges from contacts but overall in very good condition. What looks like inclusions inside the crystals in the photos is actually other crystals on the backside seen through the clear Sphalerite. Not many of these make it to the market, this specimen is from an older collection and was collected at least 25 years ago.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
