Iron Cap mine, at Landsman Camp, Aravaipa Mining District, Graham County is known to collectors for its gemmy Sphalerite crystals which rank as some of the best in the whole of Arizona. Often just individual smaller gemmy crystals on thumbnail or miniature-sized matrix, this larger miniature specimen is an extremely richly crystallized linear bed of Sphalerite crystals with a little Galena and Quartz in association. The Sphalerite crystals are extremely resinous in their lustre and slightly translucent, with greenish-yellow colours shining through their thinner parts. They present excellent growth lines across their stepped crystal faces too. Ex Paul Matt Collection, this is a really high quality Arizonan Sphalerite.
