Item Description
A dramatic and excellent, large two-sided rib from this famed locale. Striking, splendent, silvery-black, terminated parallel-growth, wolframite blades are framed by tan siderite crystals dusted with tiny sparkly pyrites. The back is totally siderite with pyrite crystals. The noted periphery wear, mostly on the right side, is certainly only a modest detraction to this impressive large two-sided combination from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Specimens of this fine combination quality are very uncommon from this mine and the mine level is known.
