Item Description

Mineral specimens of ANY variety are quite rare from this less well-known district in Cornwall. Shimmering, metallic-gray to brown, goethite botryoids richly line both sides of the sculptural, vuggy, hematite matrix on this excellent old-timer. Comes with an older, lightly faded Schortmanns label. Old-time material from the East Coast collection of Clifford Joseph.
