Item Description

The famous mines at Santa Eulalia have produced an amazing variety of combination specimens and this is a very fine example. Tan to brown dolomite/calcite rhombs preferentially coat one side of the "towers" of brassy, layered, pyrrhotite crystals and the matrix of splendent galena cubes and cuboctahedrons. Striking combination material from this noted district. Ex Dick Heck Mexico Collection.
