ea2 - Geocronite (1.5 cm xl) - $ 5000 found 1994 small cabinet, 7 x 6 x 3 cm ex. Eric Asselborn
Geocronite is an exceptionally rare lead species. This is a VERY sharp, rare matrix crystal , one of just a very few found in a freak find in 1994 that are generally considered to be the best around for the species with only a few exceptions of historic older specimens. The piece overall is attractive , too, with the quartz association.
