Item Description
A superb, VERY RARE and important large pseudomorph from the famous mines at Naica. Lustrous, metallic, microcrystalline Arsenopyrite with a striking metallic bronze-brown shimmer has replaced a fabulous sculptural cluster of classic large pseudohexagonal laminated Pyrrhotite crystals. Both species are RARE from Naica making this a doubly rare pseudomorph. This exceptional pseudo has a fine provenance. It was initially in the superb pseudomorph collection of Ed Swoboda, one of America's most prominent and successful field collectors (1917-2013). He was a partner in the famed 1972 discovery of the renowned "blue-cap" tourmalines at the Tourmaline Queen Mine. See: https://mineralogicalrecord.com/biographies_labels/swobodaedward-r/ for more history on Ed's illustrious career. The piece went to Dave Stoudt's Mexico Collection and then to the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection. A UNIQUE large pseudomorph from Naica. Valued at $3500.
