2481013
location:
Joplin, Tri-State District, Missouri, USA
description:
A very fine old-time specimen from pre-1950 with semi-lustrous cubic crystals to 5.0 cm on edge rich and attractively placed upon a 17.0 11.0 x 9.0 cm dolomite crystal covered matrix. Large black crystals of sphalerite to 5.5 cm present as well. Minor chalcopyrite present also. Shows nicely all around and sits perfectly by itself for display. Very minimal micro-chipping present, overall, especially considering the age of this one, I think in excellent condition. Shipping weight: 4.67 pounds.
