Arsenopyrite & Zinkenite (rich) Vajdak Coll.

Item Description

A very rich and showy two-sided combination rib from this well-known large silver-tin mine, noted for excellent sulfosalt specimens. Both sides of the hefty sulfide ore matrix are festooned with brilliant, silver-metallic elongated arsenopyrite prisms, to 1.1 cm and tiny zinkenite needles. The needles could be jamesonite. Regardless, combinations of this richness and quality were not common and came out in the 1970s and 80s. Ex Josef Vajdak Collection.
