Item Description

A RARE and important combination from this famous, long extinct mining district. Tiny, sparkly anglesite crystals cover both sides of the impressive, dense jackstraw jumble of reticulated cerusste blades perched on the sparing bit of rotten galena matrix. The blades reach about 3.4 cm in length. Some contacting is noted, but has virtually no impact to the overall quality and richness of this outstanding old-time, two-sided piece. Hefty and rich ore at 291 grams mass. TRY to find another! A MUST for the Utah or species collector. Valued at $1250-1500.
