19TXL36: Druse formed by complex twinned crystals of lustrous deep black Sphalerite with perfectly defined faces and edges, with marked striations on some of the crystal faces and some dissolution figures. These are associated with groups of complex and scattered twinned crystals of Arsenopyrite with a metallic grey color, as well as Quartz crystals. Finally, a globular growth formed by a multitude of slightly pinkish white Dolomite crystals adorn the piece with their color contrast.
The Trepča mining complex is one of the largest polymetallic deposits in the world and for many years produced exceptional specimens, and still now, of Sphalerite as well as various combinations of sulphides and carbonates, as shown by this specimen from the former Ferat Voca collection.
