Item Description

A wonderfully balanced, two-sided combination specimen from the famous Panasqueira Mine. The splendent, metallic-gray, cityscape spray of acicular arsenopyrite crystals is dramatically complimented by a glassy, sharply terminated, quartz skyscraper. This is superb, old-time, rare and pristine combination material from the 1960s or 70s from the Richard Hauck Collection. Valued at $1500-1750.
