location:
Picher Field, Tri-State District, Oklahoma/Kansas, USA
description:
Excellent resinous very lustrous black complex crystals of sphalerite to 4.5 cm in height set aesthetically upon a matrix coated by sparkling micro quartz crystals. Several very deep red and lustrous partly gemmy Ruby Jack sphalerite crystals to 1.0 cm present along the lower right edge of the piece. This shows nicely all around with only the most minimal of micro-chipping present. I think overall in very fine condition.
