Item Description

A rich and unusualy large specimen of nagyagite from its Type Locality in the mid-1800s, hosted in a drusy quartz-lined vug with a few rhodochrosite balls. This is a classic association, but uncommon in such visually attractive specimens overall. The large vug is in great shape and the nagyagite crystals, to 4-5 mm, are scattered in clusters and show nicely contrasted to the pink rhodocrhsoite and the white quartz. 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 Herb Obodda dealer stock, and comes with an old 1800s or very early 1900s label. Valued at $2000
