This is widely considered to be the top piece ever recovered from the mine. Color saturation is king. These are mustard color pyro crystals on velvet dark green malachite matrix that explode with color and contrast! This piece was the prize possession of the Rum Jungle mine manager for many years, sold to Ian Bruce, then to Marshall Sussman, then to an elite Texas collector, now available for you! Extremely three dimensional with top color, high contrast, and coverage, where most are flat, lifeless plates. This is sure to please the most discerning collector. If a finer rum jungle pyro exists, please send us the photo.
