Item Description

Mineral specimens from this old East Tintic District lead mine are uncommon and this is an extra-fine pair with precise mine level data. The intergrown cluster of sharp, lustrous, battleship-gray galena cuboctahedrons is from the 1200' level and the nifty thumbnail covered with lustrous rose-pink rhodochrosite rhombs is from the 1050' level. A RARE and excellent combination pair for the locality or species collector.
