The mine is notable for lead and zinc mineralization and has produced specimens of galena, sphalerite, calcite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, bornite, and millerite. Among collectible material documented from the locality are spinel-law twinned galena crystals and well-crystallized sulfides that make Sweetwater Mine a recognized source for classic Missouri ore minerals today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48770280226971,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/3012\/6217\/files\/ff23176d-fae8-488d-b9b9-861d0b27f732.jpg?v=1781485243","url":"https:\/\/www.overtonfamilyjewels.com\/products\/auction-win-50d805dd-bf60-4502-8eaa-502c1f762864","provider":"OFJ's Crystal Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
