Item Description
Sharp, moderately lustrous, steel-gray, pyrargyrite crystals to 5 mm are very aesthetically clustered atop the sculptural, 3-dimensional matrix covered with spherical aggregates of tiny, sparkly calcite rhombs. Classic and excellent old-time combination material from this historic district. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection, whose labels states that this is from the Jack Parnau Collection, a well-known California collector who passed away in 1990.
