Magnetite & Forsterite in Asbestos (old classic) Soregaroli Coll.

Item Description

A striking and uncommon combination from this well-known Austrian locale. The thick asbestos variety mountain leather matrix hosts a sharp, lustrous, metallic, 1.5 cm, compound magnetite crystal and two, gemmy and lustrous, forsterite crystals, to 1.8 cm. The asbestos matrix in front of the magnetite and forsterite has been lightly reinforced with glue, as it fluoresces yellow. Probably older material, these are old classics! Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
