Item Description
A classic and excellent small cabinet combination from the famous Dallas Gem Mine. Lustrous, terminated, jet-black neptunite crystals, 2.8 cm, are aesthetically clustered at one end of the serpentine matrix plate covered with starkly contrasting snow-white natrolite. Three partially gemmy, sapphire-blue, textbook, hexagonal, pyramidal bentoite crystals, to 1.0 cm, nicely set on the edges of the plate are typical and outstanding accessories to this fine and showy combination. Classic material from the David Burgess Collection.
