Item Description
Mineral specimens from the Keban Mine of Turkey are rare and are very rarely on the market. This very showy and excellent old-timer features sharp, lustrous, hexagonal, brown, vanadinite barrels to 1.2 cm aesthetically and richly scattered on matrix with a druse of descloizite. This piece probably dates to the 1930s mining period, as it comes with two old labels. Ex Don Boydston Collection.
