Dark red/orange crystals of Sphalerite almost completely cover a Pyrite rich matrix and clear long Quartz crystals. From the bottom you can see the Pyrite and Quartz crystals that were covered by the Sphalerite, however only about 7 of the Quartz crystals were long enough to extend out beyond the top of the Sphalerite crystals. This is a big and flashy piece, much more so in person, with thick form and great crystals all over.
