Item Description

A sculptural jackstraw cluster and singly and doubly terminated amber calcite scalenohedrons is aesthetically set on a shard of sphalerite matrix on this excellent and classic combination from this famous mine and the Ross Lillie Collection # 0625. The bit of noted periphery wear at the base is certainly only a modest detraction to this fine two-sided specimen. His label has an August, 1993 date.
