Item Description

An rare specimen of the rare mineral Hakite with Clausthalite from what is arguably the best known locality for the species. This is a good example of Hakite featuring the typically grey material with silvery Clausthalite. This is one of only a handful of pieces of this species that we've seen, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
