Item Description

A showy and excellent combination plate from the famous 1970s-80s finds at Mibladen. Nifty rosettes of lustrous, iron oxide-tinted, barite blades are aesthetically scattered on the galena matrix covered with glassy, smoky, cerussite crystals. A bit of periphery wear is noted at the bottom of the piece, but this remains a highly representative and pretty example of the combination species and locale. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
