Item Description

A rich ore slab of stringers and pods of gray, metallic silver and golden nickeline (niccolite is the Italian version) in pinkish jasperoid matrix from an uncommon locale in the famous Cobalt area. One side has been polished. Rare, probably older material. Is that a 1909 date on the label?
