Item Description
Andorite, stannite and zinkenite combination specimens reach their zenith at this well-known Bolivian locality and this is a superb example. The sharp, steel-gray, layered, andorite "sail" is aesthetically perched on a lustrous, twinned stannite crystal. Lustrous, zinkenite needles are peppered to sprinkled on both on the other two sulfosalts. The aesthetics and quality of this very rare sulfosalt association specimen are outstanding. Valued at $500-750
