Nagyagite (Type Locality - old classic) Fioravanti Coll.

Item Description

A show and excellent specimen of nagyagite from its Type Locality in the mid-1800s, hosted on quartz and rhodochrosite. This is a classic association, but unusual in such visually attractive specimens overall. Four sprays are nestled on one bench of the vug, with the large cluster with large crystals being nicely set in a separate vug. The platy crystals reach about 6 mm and are nicely contrasted to the pink rhodo and the white quartz. This is an important combination locality specimen and nice to look at. Ex Butler and Forbes Collections. Ex Giancarlo Fioravanti Collection and obtained in an exchange with the Manchester Mineralogical Musuem in 1975. Valued at $700-900.
