Item Description

Ankerite is a rare accessory from the famous and dangerous Spruce Ridge locale, best known for exceptional quartz and pyrite combinations. Clusters of pearlescent tan, saddle-shaped ankerite rhombs are richly and aesthetically scattered on the sculptural mounded 360-degree small cabinet matrix of water-clear quartz points to about 3.0 cm. A 8 mm, sharp pyrite crystal with a beautiful iridescent face is a super accessory. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with very few barely noticeable broken quartz crystals in the interior. See: https://www.mindat.org/loc-4216.html and the 1978 Mineralogical Record article in Vol. 9, No. 6. Valued at $750 by the former dealer for combination rarity, richness and quality and worth it. Classic and rare combination material
