Boulangerite & Quartz (Conklin Coll.) - rich old China find

Item Description

A dense nest of splendent metallic needles cover the matrix plate on this dramatic and aesthetic combination from the famous Yaogangxian Mine. The glassy, terminated quartz points at one end, to 6.7 cm, are a striking and excellent compliment. The transparent quartz crystals have water-clear to frosted faces. This is an outstanding 360-degree very rich boulangerite and quartz combination from this noted locale. Ex Larry Conklin Collection and valued by him at $1500 at the time - this was a rare find and dates to the late 1990s. Note that since that time, these have been relabelled as boulangerite, not jamesonite.
