Item Description
An impressive, large frothy mass of sparkly, translucent, light tan baryte crystals aesthetically caps the large silicified limestone matrix covered with sharp, lustrous, translucent, orangy-red, rubyjack sphalerite crystals on this fine and classic combination from Elmwood and the Bob Trimingham Collection. A bit of rubbing to the baryte is certainly only a modest detraction to this excellent and sculptural combination piece. Older material purchased in 1987.
