Item Description
Splendent silver-metallic sylvanite prisms 1.0 cm richly cover the matrix plate along with drusy quartz on this rich and showy specimen on great matrix. Excellent old-time material. NOTE THAT THE MATRIX IS DISTINCTIVELY FIJIAN, AND NOT NAGYAG (AS IT WAS PREVIOUSLY LABELLED IN ERROR), AND THIS LOCALITY HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO FIJI AFTER CONSULTATION WITH EXPERTS ON THE MATTER. Ex Eugene Carmichael Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON. Valued at $700-900.
