Description

Very rare piece offered from this well-known large Zn-Pb mine that closed in 2003. The piece is completely covered with nice brassy greenish sharp, cockscomb marcasite crystals. Truly an impressive piece and still in excellent condition even after the many years since it was salvaged. Higher shipping costs due to the higher weight. Australia 42 euros, Japan 34 euros, USA 28 euros. Please contact me if you want to know the shipping costs for your country.
