Item Description

Mineral specimens are RARE from this old extinct Freiberg silver mine, especially Rhodochrosite and Quartz specimens. Lustrous, translucent, flesh-pink, sharp rhombs, to 8 mm, are densely and attractively clustered on the sculptural miniature matrix. The rhodos are dramatically accented with clusters and isolated crystals of milky quartz. The large stand-alone quartz point is 1.0 cm. This extremely fine and showy, undoubtedly old-time combination rarity has multiple excellent display views. Ex W.S. Logan Collection # X123-6.
