Semseyite on Sphalerite

Herja Mine, Chiuzbaia (Kisbanya), Baia Mare, Maramure Co., Romania

9.2cm x 6.1cm x 5.6cm

Ex. Bill Pinch

Ex. Thomas J. Campbell Collection No. R14


Description/Interesting Notes:

An outstanding example of this rare species from Romania!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of complex, darkly colored sphalerite crystals that hosts several choice clusters of semseyite crystals to over 2cm!!! The semseyite crystals have silvery gray color and metallic luster!!! In person the semseyite crystals are sharply defined against the darkly colored sphalerite matrix!!! The semseyite crystals exhibit characteristic "rings" and radiating groups of bladed crystals!!! This specimen was difficult to capture in the pics, as it is way better in person!!! This specimen retains an old label from the collection of Thomas J. Campbell, Co-author of the "Encyclopedia of Minerals" with Wm. Pinch collection notation!!! Simply a magnificent example of the species!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
