Item Description
A really nifty and showy, sliced and polished slab, from a nodule of banded sphalerite and pyrite from a CLASSIC German locale - Wiesloch, near Heidelberg. The plumose character of the pyrite and sphalerite is facinating and the contrasting, white barite is a very nice accent. Ex Mullane Collection and comes with an Anton Berger label: well-known Austrian mineral dealers from the 1920s-1950s. EXCELLENT, OLD-TIME material often called Jordanite (mistakenly) or by its colloquial name Schalenblende.
