Item Description
Pharmacosiderite is an uncommon hydrated iron arsenate and is a desirable highly Cornwall classic. Scintillating, gemmy, emerald-green to grass-green crystals fill the sculptural vug in sulfide, quartz and gossan matrix. The crystals light up in bright light. The top, bottom and back are also richly covered with crystals. Classic, old English material, seldom seen now in any size or quality. Ex Eugene Carmichael Collection and comes with a Ward's label, plus there is an old cloth label attached to the piece. Valued at $300-500 for crystal sharpness and form, richness, and the old age of this rare specimen. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
