Bismuth (rare classic material) (ex David Burgess Collection)

Item Description

A now very hard to find piece of the great old classic Bismuth specimens from the Wolfram Camp locality in Queensland. This locality is completely closed down and will never produce these attractive specimens again. Orginally we were lead to believe that the faces on these specimens were crystallized, but it turns out that they are actually negative "casts" from preexisting Quartz which has been dissolved away. If you've ever wanted a great piece of this classic material, don't miss out on this one as very few are available on the market. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016). David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
