Item Description
A showy and excellent large combintion from this famous and ancient mining district. A mounded "ball" of heavily striated, bronzy pyrite pyritohedrons is aesthetically surrounded by intergrown sprays of glassy quartz points to about 2.0 cm. Scattered patches of preferentially deposited snow-white dolomite rhombs and a single partially gemmy, 1.7 cm rubyjack sphalerite crystal on the pyrite ball are fine accents. Classic combination material from this historic locale and the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
