Item Description
Superb, platy crystals of this very rare Arsenic Antimony sulfide. Although a small specimen overall, it has truly outstanding quality to the crystals, which normally are more embedded, or broken. This specimen is from a small lot, from this TYPE LOCALITY, that was recovered by one of the mine geologists in the mid 1980s and stashed away til it was released onto the market around 2005-2006. I am not aware of much other material, surviving for the market at this time. It is a superb thumbnail and rarity specimen, Bill was proud to have acquired (though it duplicated and so could be exchanged). Valued $300-400
