JE73F3: Doubly terminated Sphalerite with Quartz

The group, whose crystals have the form typical of Sphalerite with a dominance of the tetrahedron, is very well developed and the crystals have neat growth patterns. Its size, black color, intense brilliance, and good position of the group on the Quartz matrix all make this especially attractive.

The color and luster are amazing. Although not on matrix, due to the transparency, intensity of color and good definition of the crystal, I have seen few of such quality. A very old piece in my collection, I bought it from the historic Andrés Puente in 1979. Andrés was the one who had the best Áliva pieces at that time.
