Item Description

Berthierite is a relatively rare Fe-Sb-sulfosalt ore mineral. It is RARE from the historic polymetallic deposits at Pribram. Prismatic, striated steel-gray crystals comprise most of the sculptural rich ore specimen. The piece is dramatically highlighted by sprays of brilliant metallic Stibnite blades on the top face and on part of one side. The large stibnite on the side is 4.4 cm long. Stibnite is also quite rare from Pribram. OLD-TIME material, as there is a Foote label dating to the late 1800s/early 1900s on the specimen. Ex Joe Cilen Collection #11708. Joe was a well-known New Jersey collector who accumulated an over 23,000-piece collection. He passed away in 1997.

A RARE, classic, and showy old-time combination from Pribram.
