Item Description
A very showy and excellent two-sided rib from this famous and historic mine at Trepca. A very sharp, lustrous, 1.2 cm, brownish-black sphalerite twin is the highlight of the front as it is aesthetically reposed on the sculptural matrix covered with tiny, blush-pink, dolomite rhombs, very glassy, complex grayis-white calcite rhombs and scattered clusters of pyrite cubes. The back is entirely calcite. Complete all-around and pristine. Choice material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
