Description/Interesting Notes: An outstanding, old time example of sphalerite from this seldom referenced Japanese locale!!!  This specimen hosts a group of complexly twinned sphalerite crystals in association with some intergrown chalcopyrite crystals and aesthetically set atop a blade of matrix (comprised largely of tiny, i...ntergrown quartz crystals)!!!  The sphalerite crystals exhibit fantastic detail with brilliant luster!!!   The crystals are dark in color with some small accents of golden color in some surface features!!!  Despite some minor bruising, this is a showy and significant specimen for this rare locale!!!  This specimen retains an old, handwritten Japanese label from an unattributed collection as well!!!  The pics hardly do it justice!!!  Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
