Item Description

Display quality quartz specimens are RARE from any area of the historic old Tri-State District. The very sculptural silicified limestone matrix is covered with sparkly spherical aggregates of translucent gray drusy quartz. The piece is dramatically accented with scattered lustrous, battleship-gray galena cubes, to 2.0 cm, and patches of iridescent golden chalcopyrite crystals. An impressive and rare, old-time 270-degree specimen, that displays well without aid. Ex Ted Bartels Collection.
