Item Description
A classic, showy and rare combination specimen from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Highly lustrous, glassy, translucent, olive-brown, siderite rhombs to 1.8 cm on the diagonal attractively and nearly totally cover the mounded quartz with matrix specimen. Specimens from the obscure Birnbaum shafts are very rare compared to pieces from the nearby and famous Neudorf area. Herb valued this fine rarity at $600, more than 5 years ago.
