Item Description

A rare, sharp, unusually sculptural and desirable native bismuth specimen from this classic locale. The silvery-metallic euhedral crystals have nice iridescence and the piece looks like it has some alluvial rounding, adding character. The striking impression of a sharp quartz crystal in the front really dramatizes this very fine old-time piece. Sections of quartz crystals are embedded in the base. An outstanding piece, we have seen comparables for thousands of dollars at shows.
