Item Description
Mineral specimens of ANY species are RARE from this obscure underground gold mine. A fine pseudomorph is even rarer! Ferberite has replaced (pseudomorphed) a sharp, hefty, doubly terminated tetragonal scheelite crystal. The contacting has virtually no impact to the quality of this rarity and the cave on one side really adds character. This is older material, seldom seen today (early to mid 1900s?). valued $750
