Calcite with Sphalerite
specimen number:
3332603
location:
Maramures Co., Romania
description:
Old time piece with pearly translucent calcite crystals measuring to 1.0 cm in size aesthetic over the top of a black sparkling micro sphalerite crystal matrix. In very good condition. Comes with a previous label from noted collector F. W. Cassirer that must date to pre-World War II. The given locality on the label does not match anything I can find today, my guess is that this is the old Chuizbaia or Kisbanya locality.
