A killer and rare specimen of gem sphalerite crystals from Manuelita Mine, Junin, Peru. The specimen comes from the collection of Jean Des Rivieres, Quebec, Canada with a label. It displays to 8mm sphalerite crystals with a superb transparency and gemminess. They have rich and saturated amber-red color and glassy faces, which beautifully reflect the light. Some white quartz plates and small crystals of an unidentified mineral are seen too. Some damages.

Striking gemminess!
