Group of defined, curved, translucent crystals with an excellent toasted honey color and intense shine. With some Dolomite. The mine has been flooded for a long time and is currently completely inaccessible.
Troya Mine, Mutiloa, Comarca Goyerri, Guipúzcoa / Gipuzkoa, Basque Country (Euskadi) Spain (1990)
Specimen size: 4.0 × 3.9 × 2.2 cm = 1.57” × 1.54” × 0.87”

3N96: Sphalerite, Dolomite, Siderite

Druse of small, complex, twinned Sphalerite crystals, shiny and transparent and with a very deep honey color. The matrix is partially coated by small, white Dolomite crystals and rhombohedral Siderite crystals. This mine is currently abandoned and flooded, and its old galleries are completely inaccessible.
Troya Mine, Mutiloa, Comarca Goyerri, Guipúzcoa / Gipuzkoa, Basque Country (Euskadi) Spain (1985)
Specimen size: 10.2 × 9.8 × 5.5 cm = 4.02” × 3.86” × 2.17”

Main crystal size: 1.1 × 0.7 cm = 0.43” × 0.28”

6EA27R3: Sphalerite, Galena, Calcite

Group of complex, transparent, brilliant Sphalerite crystals with excellent color. The crystals are on matrix, partially covered by white lenticular Calcite crystals and small cube-octahedral crystals of Galena, exhibiting good contrast between the three species.
Kangjianwan Mine, Shuikoushan ore field, Changning, Hengyang Prefecture, Hunan Province China (2010)
Specimen size: 8.2 × 7.7 × 3.3 cm = 3.23”

9N96EK0: Sphalerite, Galena, Dolomite

Group of very sharp, twinned crystals of excellent honey color and luster on a matrix very rich in Galena and Dolomite. Due to the appearance and the association with Galena it looks different that the usual specimens from Áliva, but it is really from there
Áliva Mine (Las Mánforas Mine), Áliva mining area, Camaleño, Comarca Liébana, Cantabria Spain
Specimen size: 9.4 × 6.6 × 4.6 cm = 3.70”

Main crystal size: 0.5 × 0.5 cm = 0.20”

19CVA11: Sphalerite, Quartz

On a druse formed by Quartz crystals sit several Sphalerite crystals, two of them clearly dominant, twinned, translucent and lustrous, with the toasted honey color offering a beautiful color contrast with the matrix. Comes from a classic epithermal deposit in the Slovenian Neogene volcanic field. This specimen comes from the former collection (duplicates) of Carles Curto (number 1966.28), whose label we will send to the buyer.
Banská Štiavnica (Schemnitz), Banská Štiavnica District, Banská Bystrica Region Slovak Republic
Specimen size: 4.3 × 2.8 × 1.8 cm = 1.69” × 1.10” × 0.71”

3N13: Sphalerite, Quartz

Complex sphalerite crystals, dark in color, shiny, on small very bright Quartz crystals, on limestone matrix. From a not so well-known locality.
María Luisa Mine, La Mesa y Cortijo del Perete, La Nava, Comarca Sierra de Huelva, Huelva, Andalusia Spain (09/2014)
Specimen size: 11.2 × 8.0 × 3.5 cm = 4.41” × 3.15” × 1.38”

Main crystal size: 0.4 × 0.3 cm = 0.16” × 0.12”

9HK26S9: Sphalerite, Quartz

Druse of complex Sphalerite crystals. They are transparent, very bright, and have a very intense orange color with red shades being partially coated by microcrystalline translucent Quartz.
Kangjianwan Mine, Shuikoushan ore field, Changning, Hengyang Prefecture, Hunan Province China (2009)
Specimen size: 4.9 × 3.2 × 3.8 cm = 1.93”

19TRA14: Sphalerite, Quartz, Calcite, Pyrite

Complex twinned crystals of Sphalerite, lustrous, with a deep black color, perfectly defined faces and edges with marked striations on some of the crystal faces and some dissolution figures, growing among a forest of opaque white Quartz crystals, some of them showing partially dissolved terminations with internal grooves. The Sphalerite crystals are associated with groups of very shiny octahedral and cubo-octahedral Pyrite crystals with polycrystalline growths on their faces. The culmination is several rosettes of Calcite crystals colored grey by Boulangerite inclusions. The Trepča mining complex is one of the largest polymetallic deposits in the world and for many years produced exceptional specimens of Sphalerite as well as various combinations of sulphides and carbonates, as shown in this specimen from the former collection of Ferat Voca.
Stan Trg (Stan Terg, Stari Trg) Mine, Trepča Complex, Trepča Valley, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovska Mitrovica District Kosovo (2000-2021)
Specimen size: 7.2 × 5.5 × 3.6 cm = 2.83” × 2.17” × 1.42”

Main crystal size: 2.2 × 1.9 cm = 0.87” × 0.75”

18TGM66: Sphalerite, Rhodochrosite, Quartz

Aggregate of very sharp Sphalerite crystals (variety marmatite), with very distinct spinel-law twinning, an intense black color, very lustrous, partially covered by cream-colored botryoidal Rhodochrosite crystals. Finally, partially covering the piece, there are white lenticular Calcite crystals with sharp rhombohedral terminations. The Trepča mining complex is one of the largest polymetallic deposits in the world and for many years produced exceptional specimens of Sphalerite as well as varied combinations of sulfides and carbonates, as shown in this specimen.
Stan Trg (Stan Terg, Stari Trg) Mine, Trepča Complex, Trepča Valley, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovska Mitrovica District Kosovo (2000-2021)
Specimen size: 8.6 × 6.8 × 2.5 cm = 3.39” × 2.68” × 0.98”
