Item Description

A very showy and excellent combination specimen from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. Sharp, triangular, splendent, metallic-gray stannite crystals are aesthetically set on the edge of a glassy quartz crystal plate. There are even a few glassy, light purple fluorite cubes scattered in the quartz field. This is a very fine combination specimen from this noted locale, even with a bit of periphery wear. These came out 6-10+ years ago, with very little production since. The former dealer label (Collectors Edge, circa 2000) has a $300 price tag. Valued $400-500 today.
