 | "Nice cabinet sized specimen, mined in the 70's. From the Franklin Wiseman Collection. Sphalerite (which is also known as Blende), is an important ore of zinc and can make a rather attractive cabinet specimen as well. It can have excellent luster and associates with many beautifully colored minerals making it one of the best enhancers of many fine mineral specimens. Fine crystals of chalcopyrite have a unique character and can add to anyone's collection. Dolomite, which is named for the French mineralogist Deodat de Dolomieu. Crystals of dolomite are well known for their typical beautiful pink color, pearly luster and unusual crystal habit and it is these clusters that make very attractive specimens."
