Item Description
An old-time and uncommon combination specimen from this historic locale. A scuptural vug is lined with uncommon corroded, blue-green chrysocolla. The hefty massive barite? matrix hosts small vugs with cerussite crystals. Quartz crystals are scattered about and there may be leadhillite. Comes with an old, late 1800s or early 1900s German label. Not pretty to look at, but is a highly representative old-time example of the rare combination species.
