Item Description
An aesthetic and classic 360-degree combination miniature from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. Two striking sculptural textbook parallel-growth tabular jet-black ferberite spearpoints have typical high metallic luster accented with well-striated faces. The bonus on the back are the striated, splendent, silver-metallic arsenopyrite crystals nicely accompanied by contrasting sprays of glassy quartz points. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with just a bit of lower bruising along one edge. Choice combination material from the Ted Bartels Collection.
