Item Description

Two, striking, variably-sized, bladed, barite "balls" are aesthetically set on a matrix plate of sparkling, gemmy, rubyjack sphalerite crystals on this excellent CABINET combination specimen from the famous and now-closed Elmwood Mine. A sprinkling of small, lustrous, translucent, classic amber calcite scalenohedrons is a super accent. Periphery wear is noted on one edge, but this remains a highly representative example of the combination species from this noted locale. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
