Item Description

A glassy, translucent, large for the locale, 5.4 cm on the diagonal, magnesite rhomb is jauntily set on massive magnesite matrix well-complimented by smaller rhombs on this showy and classic example from this famous locale. One spot of modest bruising and trivial rubbing on the large rhomb edges are certainly modest detractions to this aesthetic piece. These crystals are among the world's best of species, from this locality. This is a classic example. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
