Item Description

A classic and very showy combination piece of species, for which the famous Panasqueira Mine is renowned. Lustrous, jet-black clusters of ferberite blades are jauntily set on a jackstraw matrix of two, large siderite crystals. The 7.0 cm, water-clear quartz crystal and the contacted quartz shard on the siderite edge are super accents. Trivial termination wear on the quartz crystal does not detract from the overall impact of this excellent combo piece from the Gene Meieran Collection.
