Blocky, well developed black crystals of Sphalerite are scattered over a bed of sub-2 mm, iron-stained Quartz crystals. These cover a heavy matrix of mixed granular Sphalerite, Galena and Quartz. A classic specimen from Force Crag mine at Coledale, to the west of Keswick in Cumbria. Two Galena crystals are also present, sitting on top of Sphalerite crystals towards one end. One of the accompanying labels is ex. Grove House Gallery (Main St., Keswick), a shop that will conjure many happy memories amongst British mineral collectors.
