Item Description

Splendent, sharp, jet-black, twinned cassiterite crystals to 1.6 are dramatically perched on the top and side of a plate of pearlescent muscovite blades. Very nearly pristine with only the large cassiterite having a very gently bruised corner. This is classic, excellent and aesthetic combination material from Mt. Xuebaoding. Valued at $1000. You don"t many new ones anymore.
