description:
Attractive lustrous translucent crystals of sphalerite measuring to 1.0 cm in size across the front of this matrix with crystallized dolomite. The specimen is in good condition as seen and is quite nice for the species. The matrix on this one must have a little pyrite within it in the matrix is somewhat friable. The piece still appears solid to me.
