My guess would be calcite on galena, but don't label it because what I'm saying.

I thought the same as Sue? Strontianite on sphalerite? I thought I had some of that around. Will look around and see if 1) I can find it, 2) I have a label on it.

Cool piece whatever it is Donnie!

Got it!!! Calcite on sphalerite! I emailed the fella named Rob Lavinski at www.irocks.com. He emailed me back very quickly, said it's possibly from Mexico.
