Item Description
A showy, excellent, totally different, two-sided combination rib from the historic mines at Cavnic. Lustrous, striated, metallic-gray, tetrahedrite tetrahedrons, gemmy rubyjack sphalerite crystals and sparkling, tiny brass-yellow, pyrite pyritohedrons are richly and aesthetically scattered on the front of the frosted quartz crystal plate. The totally different back is entirely quartz points! Very interesting chemistry here, with no sulfides on the backside! Classic older combination material from the Howard Belsky Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
