Item Description
A very rich combination specimen of nagyagite from its Type Locality in the mid-1800s, hosted on rhodochrosite and quartz. This is a classic association, but unusual in such visually attractive specimens overall. Lustrous, silver-metallic bladed crystals to a fairly large 1.0 cm are richly scattered on all sides of this exceptional miniature. This is an important locality specimen, nice to look at, and for the price I think a good bargain to own one of these in any appreciable sized specimen. Ex Matioli Collection. Valued at $1200.
