Rich combination of high luster black sphalerite, bronze pyrrhotite and steel gray galena on a mound of drusy quartz.  Note that several pyrrhotite crystals are partially replaced by galena; a classic paragenesis from skarn-type deposits. Sphalerite shows superlative twinning.  Aesthetic and in top condition. A Mexican classic. Dr. London acquired the piece from McKee Minerals, Scottsdale, AZ in 1977.
