Item Description

A showy and excellent, large combination specimen from this famous mine. Lustrous, pearlescent dolomite rhombs coat the large, sharp calcite rhombs aesthetically scattered on the massive ferberite matrix. A multitude of tiny, sparkling, brassy, pyrite crystals and flattened siderite rhombs, along with isolated dolomite crystals are a fine compliment to this to this piece. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by him at $650, five or more years ago.
