Item Description
This specimen was collected in 2006. It hails from one of the most exciting Bolivian locality of the last 10 years. It hosts a few attractive, sharp, tabular, metallic, silvery-grey color, crystals. The piece has a unique appearance, and despite some rough edges, is fairly good quality for the locality and the material. Recently one of the best pieces from a recent find at Machacamarca was featured on the cover of the March/April 2009 Issue of the Mineralogical Record! This specimen is from the same mine.
