Item Description

An EXTREMELY RARE, colorful and sculpural, large combination polished slab of these rare barium silicates from the Type Locality for pellyite. The striking swirled bands include bright magenta gillespite, scattered pods and thin veins of light brown pellyite and thin white veins of sanbornite. Sanbornite specimens are very rare from here, in itself. This perhaps unique specimen is from the Art Soregaroli Collection. A MUST for the species or locality collector. Value???
