Item Description

A classic and very showy plate of lustrous, brassy, nicely formed cockscomb crystals of marcasite with minor dolomite crystals on the base. Old-time and excellent material from the famous Kansas portion of the Tri-State District. Ex Mullane Collection. Superb, robust examples of this classic are hard to come by today, and many have decayed from being stored in high-humidity environs. this one, though, is remarkably intact.
