Marcasite on Barite (classic locale) Wes Parker Coll.

Item Description

A very unusual looking, very fine combination piece from the ancient and famous Stari Trg Mine at Trepca, Kosovo. The bladed baryte matrix is richly covered with lustrous, sculptural aggregates of bronzy marcasite. The marcasites have a rounded, botryoidal form that look like mushroom caps! Most intriguing. A label in German is attached to the bottom. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
