Sphalerite, Quartz, Calcite, Pyrite (Ref: 19TRA14)
Stan Trg (Stari Trg) Mine, Trepča Complex, Trepča Valley, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovska Mitrovica District Kosovo
72mm x 55mm x 36mm
Complex twinned crystals of Sphalerite, lustrous, with a deep black color, perfectly defined faces and edges with marked striations on some of the crystal faces and some dissolution figures, growing among a forest of opaque white Quartz crystals, some of them showing partially dissolved terminations with internal grooves. The Sphalerite crystals are associated with groups of very shiny octahedral and cubo-octahedral Pyrite crystals with polycrystalline growths on their faces. The culmination is several rosettes of Calcite crystals colored grey by Boulangerite inclusions. The Trepča mining complex is one of the largest polymetallic deposits in the world and for many years produced exceptional specimens of Sphalerite as well as various combinations of sulphides and carbonates, as shown in this specimen from the former collection of Ferat Voca.
