Item Description

A dramatic, craggy, matrix hosts a nifty, 2.5 x 2.0 vug lined with scintillating, brassy, soft-to-the-touch, millerite needles. Many surfaces and veins of the matrix are covered/filled with sparkly, sharp, colorless, dolomite rhombs. Excellent combination material from the Howard Belsky Collection. Very seldom available in this combination quality from this old coal mining area, especially since the Czech Republic was still part of the CSSR when Howard obtained the piece! Value of such a rarity??? We think in the $750 range.
