Item Description

An outstanding and aesthetic, two-sided, combination specimen from the early to late-1990s finds at Dalnegorsk. Three, jauntily clustered, splendent, galena cuboctahedrons with nifty skeletal features highlight the front of the sharp, tabular, pristine, lustrous, brassy, hexagonal pyrrhotite crystal. Two sprays of quartz crystals nicely cap the crest. The backside features more galena and quartz and a lustrous, stepped-growth calcite rhomb. Choice combination sulfide material from the Paul Harter Collection.
