Item Description

The famed Poudrette Quarry has produced a world-class variety of common, rare and unique mineral species. This showy, sculptural, multi-sided piece qualifies as an excellent combination specimen. Pointy, tapered, tan natrolite crystals cover much the glassy quartz points matrix. Many of the natrolites are etched and hollow. The corroded sphalerite crystals and golden chalcopyrites scattered about add much color contrast and character. Fine, 360-degree combination material from the Robert Nowakowski Collection.
