Item Description

RARE OLD-TIME drusy quartz on chalcedony from Yellowstone Park! This piece predates establishment of the Park in 1872, when collecting was still permitted. Scintillating drusy quartz with pretty light pink iron oxide inclusions covers the 3-dimensional front. Iron oxides coat the rolling drusy quartz back of the piece. Any old specimen from world's old park must be considered a United States treasure. From an East Coast collection and comes with a century-old faded, water-stained and torn label. The underlying partial Georgia label is incorrect.
