Item Description
A nifty and showy galena and chalcopyrite combination miniature (or toenail size) from this noted district. Two, sharp, splendent, compound, galena octahedrons are aesthetically accented with sparkly, golden chalcopyrite. The isolated ball looks just like a golden snail! French mining started here in 1720! Ex Schlichter Collection.
