An excellent, damage free combination specimen of the highly desirable and very rare yellow sphalerite on a lollingite book. The sphalerite is lustrous and gemmy, the same quality as the original pieces that were found-- later pieces tend to be less transparent.
This is also the only sphalerite/ lollingite combo that I have seen, it is a very beautiful and well balanced piece.
