Description

This nice spicemen comes from an ancient lead mine, started in 1849 and abandoned in 1901, working a lead, copper, and zinc-bearing quartz-vein of postvariscan age hosted by Devonian sandstone and clay schists.

Two well-formed sphalerite crystals from this historic mine, grown together. A rare find.
With a fantastic old label.
