Item Description

Sharp, tetragonal, brownish-yellow helvine crystals are attractively sprinkled on the scuptural matrix plate. Portions of the helvines (terminations mostly) are a beautiful, gemmy rich golden-amber. Gemmy, cinnamon-orange spessartines and greenish muscovite books are a very nice accent. A shapely and excellent uncommon combination from this locality, now in a national park and closed. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
