Siderite, Quartz, Dolomite & Pyrrhotite (Paterson Museum Coll.)

Item Description

A very nifty and sculptural combination miniature from this famous gold mine. The dramatic cluster attached to the very glassy sharply terminated quartz crystal includes classic, gemmy, flattened, golden-brown siderite rhombs, a well-placed bronzy pyrrhotite crystal at the top and a couple of cute colorless dolomite disks, to 1.6 cm. Classic older combination material from the 1960s or 70s. Ex Paterson Museum Collection and the label indicates the piece was on display there.
