Lustrous reddish brown Sphalerite crystals growth on Quartz crystals in a small cavity. Sphalerite is quite rare in Těškov quarry. You can find them only in a very few boulders after each blasting. I found a few specimens 12. August 2022 after a couple of hours of smashing big boulders by my heavy hammer.
