Item Description

A very nifty, showy and decidedly different, two-sided combination from this famed locale and the Art Soregaroli Collection. The front of the sculptural piece is composed of cluster of brilliant, silver-metallic, stepped-growth, arsenopyrite crystals next to lustrous, dark metallic-gray, stepped-growth, sphalerite crystals. The back is fully covered with rosettes of iron oxide-coated muscovite blades. A classic and excellent Panasqueira combination.
