Item Description

VERY RARE and rich, old-time chromite from near the Volga River in Russia. Black, rounded but recognizably isometric chromite crystals, to about 2.0 cm, are richly set in the spare gossan matrix on this very showy mounded small cabinet specimen. This rare piece probably dates to the Imperial Russia era of prior to 1917. From an old European collection. An exceptional and rare old-time Russian chromite specimen, we only know from references - have never seen a good one for sale. Valued at $1000-1500.
