JC5281. Sphalerite. Cave-in-Rock, Hardin Co., Illinois. 10.5 x 12 x 7 cm 1,188g. $50.00. This is a large cabinet specimen of almost all sphalerite from one of the mines in the Hardin County fluorspar belt. Obviously an older piece. I can't recall seeing a large cabinet specimen like this in many years. Although not visible in the photos, there are a couple of small, 3mm or so, purple fluorites scattered around on the back area of the specimen. It looks better in person, as it is hard to capture the 3 dimensional nature of the sphalerite crystals sticking up from the matrix. Has an old German label with it. | |

From the find of the 1960's, these are now not often seen for sale with this size of crystals.. This one has a vug filled with relatively large, gemmy, dark blue azurite crystals with some malachite. Classic specimen from this classic old find. Ex Kaye Robertson collection. Better in person. Camera has a hard time differentiating the various crystals. | |
