Item Description

A dramatic and sculptural LARGE CABINET combination specimen from the famous Elmwood Mine. Huge, intergrown, bladed, barite "balls" nearly cover the matrix of lustrous, moderately translucent, rubyjack sphalerite. Very nearly pristine, with just a trivial bit of contacted bruising in two spots to the barite. This classic large piece remains a highly representative and showy combination specimen from this noted locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection. 3.7 pounds or 1.7 kilos.
