A nicely crystallised and aesthetic specimen of black Sphalerite and tan blades of Siderite atop a Pyrite and Siderite rich matrix from the Pribram mining district in the Czech Republic. The Siderite occurs as curved, sharp-edged bladed crystals that contrast well against the shiny black Sphalerite. Recently released from a private collection.
