Item Description

This is one of the few spherical Marcasites that I've seen from this locality, and what an attractive piece it is! Spherical aggregates of Marcasite measuring up to 1.7 cm across sitting atop Sphalerite matrix. Very aesthetic and damage free. Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection from the collection of Rick and Deanna Russell.
