Item Description

Highly lustrous, jet-black to chocolate-brown, sphalerite crystals cover the undulating surface above a quartz crystal layer on this very fine old-time, CABINET, combination specimen from the historic mines of Cumbria, England. The crystals are up to 1.8 cm. This excellent plate is essentially pristine. Ex Dennis Mullane Collection and comes with a faded Bourget Bros. label, that dates to the 1950 or 60s. This fine piece is undoubtably 100 years old or older.
