Item Description

From the 1980's find of Marcasite from the limestone quarries of Hanover comes this divergent cluster composed of numerous crystals with excellent metallic luster and patina. Matrix pieces weren't uncommon; however, most occurred as loose clusters off matrix. This splendid brassy colored Marcasite bundle is adroitly set in a perfect amount of contrasting gray-white limestone matrix. Ex. Lewadny collection.
