Hubnerite & Quartz (Art Soregaroli Coll.)

Item Description

A sculptural combination specimen from the famous mines of the Pasto Bueno area of Peru. The skyline is dominated by intergrown clusters of lustrous, black hubnerite lathes with attached small quartz points. Quartz crystals cascade down the front of the piece and the whole piece is dramatically accented by the 4.8 cm terminated quartz crystal in the front. Many of the hubnerite tips are pristine and many were contacted against the vug wall. Bruising to the quartz field below the hubnerites on the right side and modest bruising to the back are noted, but have minimal impact to the excellent display quality of this classic 360-degree combination from Pasto Bueno. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection.
