Item Description

A striking, 2.5 cm tall, pinwheel of brilliant metallic semseyite plates is the focal point of this fine large combination specimen from this famous locale. The sculptural, 3-dimensional matrix consists mostly of sphalerite crystals with nifty, dividing septae of siderite. Excellent old combination material from this historic mine from the Bob Trimingham Collection and originally obtained from a source in Germany in 1971, according to his label.
