Item Description

A classic, very cute, quartz and pyrite combination miniature from the famous Spruce Claim. Two rabbit ears quartz crystals are jauntily angled and beautifully flank a mirror-bright, brass-yellow, pyrite cube. The quartz crystals are complete all-around and are nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of barely noticeable termination wear to each crystal. The contacted back of the pyrite cube is out of sight. Very aesthetic material from this dangerous, noted locale. Self-collected by Ernie Schlichter with Bart Cannon in 1984.
