Item Description

Native bismuth specimens are rare from this less well-known and extinct Cobalt silver mine. Brilliant, bronze-metallic plates are richly scattered on the large greenstone matrix on this showy, excellent and rich specimen from the Art Soregaroli Collection. That's calcite associated with the bismuth, which is also rare from this mine. Excellent and rare large material from this famous locale.
