Item Description
Freieslebenite is a very rare silver, lead, antimony sulfide species found in good quality only at a few locales. This district in Spain is perhaps the most classic for specimens for the collector, though pieces are old and rarely available today. This is a showy and excellent thumbnail cluster of lustrous, silver-metallic, blocky prisms to about 7 mm. These are fairly large crystals for the locale and this is a fine example of the species and locality. VERY OLD AND RARE MATERIAL! valued $500-
