Item Description
Two, iridescent, rubyjack sphalerite crystals are adroitly set on the plate covered with gemmy, colorless calcite rhombs. The scluptural quality of the calcites are oustanding, with the curved ridge of rhombs descending from the large sphalerite to the small one! The large sphalerite is translucent and the small one is gem, when backlit. Choice and aesthetic, old-time material from the George Feist Collection # 2385.
