Item Description
A dramatic and sculptural two-sided combination piece from this famed locale and the Art Soregaroli Collection. Splendent, brassy, pyritohedrons are festooned on the front and one side and nearly cover the sculptural intergrown cluster of lustrous, well-striated wolframite crystals. The back of the piece has a rich covering of spherical aggregates of tiny, lustrous and translucent, calcite rhombs. Classic, excellent and artistic two-sided combination material with only minimal bruising, which is certainly only a modest detraction.
