Description

This is a very nice example of bright-red, well-formed proustite crystals to 1 cm. on contrasting white calcite and pyrite matrix from the famous Schneeberg District in Germany. A fine German proustite miniature that won’t break the bank, with good aesthetics and in fine condition as seen. Mark Cross photo. Classic!!
