Item Description

An aesthetic and rare combination from this famous mine. Fine baryte, tennantite and chalcopyrite combinations are very uncommon. A beautiful rosette of pearlescent baryte blades is aesthetically set upright on the sculptural and contrasting matrix plate of golden chalcpyrite and metallic-gray tennantite crystals. The baryte cluster is 3.0 cm across and the bit of bruising is certainly only a modest detraction to this cutie. Choice and rare combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
