Item Description
A good specimen of the ordinarily "ugly" and very rare arsenate, Bukovskyite from the Type Locality! This species is actually chemically related to Zykaite, and they actually look very similar in color and form. This material is often found in non descript "lumps", but this piece is showier than most with good spherical form and balance. We rarely have any of these to offer for sale or in the auctions, and pieces of this size and quality are almost immediately scooped up by rare mineral collectors. Don't miss out on this one. From the collection of Wouter Van Tichelen.
