Item Description

Aesthetic sprays of rare metallic jamesonite prisms are attractively scattered on this large combination from this well-known Spanish copper-gold mine. The long compound cluster is 4.4. cm long. The hefty massive wollastonite matrix includes pyrite and arsenopyrite. The showy and excellent large combination piece displays well without aid. Self-collected by Paco Gutierrez, a Spanish collector whose collection we just purchased. Mass is 869 grams or 1.9 pounds.
