Item Description

An impressive, 4.0 x 2.8 x 2.0 cm, textbook tapered tetrahedral, matte charcoal-gray, tennantite crystal dominates this very showy and sculptural 360-degree small cabinet combination from famed extinct Tsumeb. This crystal turns into a 5.7 cm compound crystal on the back side! Smaller tennantites are attractively scattered on the matrix of tiny, gray Quartz points. A super BONUS and accessory are the scattered classic, pearlescent, grayish-white, stepped-growth saddle-shaped Dolomite crystals, to 1.1 cm. One upper corner of the primary tennantite crystal is lightly bruised, which is certainly only a modest detraction. Fairly valued at least at $1500 or more. This is a classic and excellent combination from the renowned locale.
