Ex Richard Lewis Collection sphalerite on sparkling quartz matrix from China. This piece has an absolutely savage luster in person, with sharp jet-black sphalerite crystals exploding out of a cavern of glittering druse and scattered clear quartz points. The contrast on this one is unreal under light, shifting between oily mirror-black reflections and warm bronze flashes across the crystal faces. The matrix is completely coated in fine sparkling crystallization, giving the specimen that frozen cavern look that older high-end Chinese material is known for. Thick sculptural composition with dramatic vertical growth and a ton of texture from every angle. An incredibly display-heavy cabinet piece with serious presence and that dark gothic mineral energy we love around here. Follow us on IG: @the.sea.lestials for deals and musical videos.
