Item Description
Lustrous, spherical aggregates of pretty pastel-pink rhodochrosite rhombs and a dramatic centerpiece at the top of a pair of upright splendent, golden pseudomorphs of chalcopyrite after tabular pyrrhotite crystals with sphalerite and guartz crystals between on a very sculptural large matrix of chacopyrite pseudomorphs and sphalerite and quartz crystals form a striking and outstanding combination specimen. The upright pseudos look like golden a Oreo cookie with a black center! This colorful and most excellent specimen is from the famous and ancient mines at Trepca. Valued at $600-700.
