Item Description
Mineral specimens are RARE from these well-known abandoned historic slate quarries, that operated from the 13th century in to the 20th century (MINDAT). Intergrown clusters of brilliant luster brassy pyrite cubes, to 1.2 cm, with lightly striated faces are aesthetically connected and set on the sculptural, large and uncommon sintered looking quartz matrix plate. It displays nicely and minor contacting/bruising is certainly acceptable in the context of this rare old-tmer from a slate quarry in Germany.
