Item Description

Mineral specimens are uncommon from this obscure locality in Ancash Department. Sparkly, pearlescent, mint-green, muscovite variety sericite plates solidly comprise this large sculptural crust. Two, hard to see, water-clear quartz points are very attractively set into the piece. The striking large quartz is 3.8 cm long. Showy, exellent and rare large combination material from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
