Condition

Black, equant Sphalerite crystals of up to 8 mm almost entirely cover a triangular shaped platy matrix of massive Sphalerite, with possible Hematite and earthy brick-red Hematite staining on the base. Although the majority of the Sphalerite is black, some crystal faces are translucent carmine-red with even the very occasional translucent orange crystal, albeit being sub-mm. Such well defined crystals of this deep red colour are very uncommon from P?'bram. Between the Sphalerite crystals are tiny, sub-2 mm terminated Quartz crystals, often stained orange-red.
