CAU11 Sphalerite
Chivera Mine, Cananea Copper District, Sonora, Mexico
10.8x 6.8x 3.8 cm
$275

A beautiful sample of Mexican sphalerite crystals, a few showing light translucency.  This piece has an old collector label that dates it to 1987, when it was purchased from the "old flats" of another dealer.  It's particularly good for a Mexican sphalerite, somehow more aesthetic than the standard Dal'Negorsk-y (I'm using that as an adjective) sphalerites from Naica.
