Item Description
Mineral specimens from this old-time German mining district are very rare and are seldom on the market. The massive galena matrix hosts a showy vug lined with gemmy, yellow-green siderite crystals and glassy, quartz points. Excellent old-time combination material from this seldom-seen locale. Comes with a Hugh Ford label dating from 1946-57. Ex J. Cilen, John Marshall and Robert Whitmore Collections.
