Item Description

Mineral specimens of ANY species are EXTREMELY RARE from this long extinct lead-zinc mining area of Wisconsin. Three sculptural rounded cockscombs on the crest of densely intergrown lustrous bronzy marcasite crystals with classic sharp terminations dominate this very rich and showy nearly solid marcasite specimen from this historic locale. The mines were established in 1827 (MINDAT). Ex Chet Lemanski Collection No. 23163 and acquired in 2008. Rare, perhaps unique marcasite from the obscure Wisconsin locale.
