Description
A specimen of sphalerite and quartz from Germany. This piece features striking orange-brown, translucent sphalerite crystals beautifully complemented by clear, well-formed euhedral quartz crystals. While sphalerite is most commonly found as an opaque ore mineral, it occasionally develops translucent crystals like those seen here, making specimens such as this especially attractive and collectible.
