A DRAMATIC LARGE CABINET specimen of jagged mountains and valleys of orange-brown bladed iron oxide-coated white Baryte literally festooned with lustrous olive-green pyromorphite prisms to 6 mm with mustard-yellow tips from the famous Les Farges Mine. This is CLASSIC Les Farges material and it is very UNCOMMON to find a HUGE plate in this size, 3-dimensionality and quality. Old dealer stock of Dr. Gary Hansen and not shown since the early 1980s! His label indicates that he obtained it from the Sorbonne 21.2 x 10.5 x 5.9 cm
