Item Description
A rare and very aesthetic South Dakota quartz combination specimen from this old mine. The dramatic "V" of glassy, sharply terminated crystals is richly and preferentially dusted with clusters and isolated microcrystals of pyrite, sphalerite and calcite or dolomite rhombs. Complete all-around and pristine. Exceptional combination material from this mine, as even the stope and mine level are known. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
