Description

This mine is mostly known for spessartine with spessartine smoky quartz. What most don't know is that there are other minerals rarely associated such as fluorite or pyrite with the second being even more rare than fluorite. We have both fluorite and pyrite, along with fine smoky quartz and a little bit of spessartine on feldspar crystals. It is a fine and aesthetic rare locality combo specimen in excellent condition!
