15dm179 ((SPHALERITE, TETRAHEDRITE QUARTZ)), $20 MINIMUM BID, Casapalca Mine, Lima Department, Peru, 9 x 9 x 7 cm, Cabinet | |
In 1999 a large find of Tetrahedrite came out of Peru for a short time. This is one of those but it is mainly Sphalerite crystals which have a similar but slightly different look. Tetrahedrite sharper and more pointed crystals. It also does have some Tetrahedrite crystals along with associated Quartz. Undamaged in great shape. Dennis McMurdie collection. |
