Item Description

Rich curved clusters of sharp, moderately, bronzy marcasite crystals dramatically march across the large marly limestone matrix on this rich and showy piece from late 1980s finds at this well-known Italian quarry complex. Specimens of this size, richness and quality are very uncommon and are seldom on the market. Ex Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
