Item Description
A very rare and possiblty unique pseudomorph from the famous mines at Cobalt. We have never seen another like it! This is a portion of a solid, beautiful vuggy vein composed of striking arborescent, complex leaves of spinel-twinned silver crystals altered to the nickel species skutterudite. It is presumably an old specimen. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection. Valued at $1200.
