Sphalerite with Chalcopyrite Banska Stiavnica (Schemnitz), Banska Stiavnica Co., Banska Bystrica Region, Slovakia 9.3cm x 6.8cm x 2.7cm Ex. Florence Mecke Collection Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic, old time example of sphalerite from this historic locale!!! This specimen hosts numerous sharp, complex crystals of gemmy sphalerite in association with chalcopyrite, galena, and an unidentified green mineral!!! Let me start off by saying that this specimen is WAY better than the pics show and has a very unique aesthetic to it in person!!! The crystals show intense golden yellow color with large areas of gem clarity!!! The crystals have sharp, lustrous faces with highly complex modifications!!! The crystals show dynamic flashes of brilliant golden yellow fire within!!! The matrix hosts a significant showing of chalcopyrite, galena that has a dark iridescent patina, and an unidentified lively green mineral!!! OLD material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
