Item Description

A RARE and excellent combination from this famed Mg-Fe deposit. The rich and hefty two-sided banded hausmannite ore matrix hosts a striking vein of coarsely crystallized to platy native lead. The upper portion and the top of the piece hosts narrow veinlets of rose-pink rhodonite. Very rare and desirable old-time combination material from this noted locale from an East Coast collection. This would be marked at 500-750 Euros at major European shows.
