Item Description
A very rare combination specimen from the famous mines at Jachymov. The sculptural specimen, with a decided skeletal or herringbone look consists of stacked columns of rounded rammelbergite crystals. Lustrous, bronze-red nickeline coats much of the piece and the Vajdak label notes galena. Collected calculated 1920 and comes with a copy of the label from the National Museum (Narodni) in Prague. Vajdak is a noted Czech specialist.
