Item Description

An adorable hubnerite and quartz miniature combination from the small 2010 find at this famous mine. A highly lustrous, well-striated, metallic, doubly terminated hubnerite crystal is dramatically accented with a rabbit ears pair of different sized limpid quartz crystals with nifty side cars. The quartz crystals and large hubnerite are pristine. The basal termination on the hubnerite is partially contacted, but there is no damage, per se. The attachment point on this amazingly elegant piece is on the quartz on the back. DIFFICULT to photograph, with the contrast of the gem quartz and dark metallic hubnerite. A killer miniature valued at $1350 for quality and rarity.
