Animon Mine, Huaron, Pasco, Peru
description:
A wonderful lustrous sharply formed twinned crystal of sphalerite 2.4 cm in height coming off of a crystallized sphalerite matrix with gemmy crystals of colorless quartz. There have been countless thousands of sphalerite specimens on the market over the years from this locality, to me, this one stands out well above the rest. In great condition.
