Item Description

Mineral specimens of any variety are almost unheard of from the Viburnum No. 28 Mine of Missouri. This aesthetic combination piece features a sharp, splendent, metallic-gray, galena cube attractively set on an angled matrix of sparkly gray, micro calcite rhombs. Complete all-around and pristine. The painted label on the piece has a 1983 date. This very rare and fine combination is from the extensive collection of noted Missouri specialist George Feist (# 1810-2).
