Item Description
Lustrous, translucent, dark tan, siderite rhombs intergrown into striking string-like forms form a rich and showy plate on this classic old-time specimen from Neudorf. Rare and seldom-available material from this ancient lead-silver mine. Excellent old material, as the mines closed in 1903. Ex Ex Tim Welting Collection. Valued at $400-600.
