Item Description

An old specimen, in all probability, this is a hefty piece of ore rich with several tellurium minerals. According to the label, one of them is empressite - and I have little reason to doubt any Micklancic label as his specialty was such rarities. The piece could be from the type locale in this county, but it is not possible to say for sure. Sharp silvery specks of tellurium and Te-mineralization are present throughout the piece
