Item Description

An adorable old-time miniature from the Parkside Mine. A glassy gem, light straw-yellow tabular spearpoint and with a chisel edge is beautifully and dramatically accented with iron oxides and a striking attached plate covered with tinted dolomite rhombs. A very aesthetic 360-degree cutie. A bit of bruising is noted to both sides of the termination edge, but certainly has only negligible impact to the overall high quality of this excellent piece from Bob Trimingham Collection. Specimens from here are not very common compared to other famous Frizington iron mines. This historic iron mine was active from 1855-1925.
