Sphalerite & Calcite
Strontian Mine, Strontian, Western Lochaber, Highland Region, Scotland
521
Sphalerite is not unusual at Strontian mine but crystals have always been difficult to find. This specimen is unusually rich with a bed of well formed 2-3mm sphalerite crystals pleasing 'topped-of' with disc shaped crystals of calcite. Calcite fluoresces red and yellow. Calcite crystals have also fomed on the back of the specimen but here they are scalenohedrons!
