Item Description
A very fine older hubnerite miniature of parallel-growth, well-terminated, highly lustrous, tabular crystals from the Jaime Bird Collection. Flashes of red translucence are visible under bright light and those are tiny quartz crystals embedded on the back side. Uncommon older Pasto Bueno material from the 1960s to early 70s and valued highly by Hamel Mining & MInerals (Jaime worked for them).
