Item Description

An extraordinarily fine and aesthetic Elmwood combination with very uncommon discrete crystals from the Dave Bristol Collection. The striking, sharp, 1.9 cm, jauntily placed, fortification galena is dramatically flanked and surrounded by splendent, very sharp, rubyjack sphalerite twins and another galena cube. Sparkly dolomite rhombs cover the silicified limestone matrix. An outstanding, pristine, and rare style combination from Elmwood. Valued at $1500-1750 and well worth it.
