A CLASSIC, old-time and UNCOMMON combination specimen from the famous Broken Hill Mine of Australia. Gemmy and glassy, blue apatite crystals and GEMMY to opaque red rhodonite crystals to 2.4 cm are nicely placed in the galena-rich matrix. The beautiful, gemmy, blue apatite crystal, on the front of the specimen, is 7 mm. Minor scattered damage, not that detracting at all, is certainly bearable on this fine old-timer. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. I have never seen another such combo for sale!!! 6.4 x 6.0 x 4.8 cm
