This is an excellent group of gemmy, lustrous, beautiful red sphalerite crystals from the classic French locality of La Mure. The crystals have great luster, color, and transparency when backlit. A fine classic from an old collection- good gemmy sphalerite specimens from this locality are hard to come by. Mark Cross photo. Classic!
