Berthierite with Stibnite ex Josef Vajdak Coll

Item Description

This is a hefty specimen of mixed Pribram ores with embedded berthierite crystals, which are rare for the locality. This long resided in his personal reference collection of Czech classics of Josef Vajdak, a rare species mineral dealer from New York, now 80 years of age. Josef claims to have done research indicating that these were found in the 1880, and considered this a very good example of this rarity for the locale. Note the minor stibnite in association, also a rarity for the locale. He valued this specimen at $750, and we are auctioning it for him on consignment.
