Item Description

Impressive large parallel-growth, highly lustrous, well-striated, terminated black wolframite crystals are richly and preferentially peppered with glassy light green apatite prims and light brown siderite rhombs on this striking large two-sided combination specimen from Panasqeira. The upper section of the piece is in great shape. The contacting and bruising lower on the piece, where other crystals once lay, has minimal impact to the sculptural high quality of this large combination from the Paul Zerfass Collection # 427.
