Item Description

This is a very attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. A group of sharp, lustrous, prismatic, parallel growth crystals of Hubnerite associated with small, sharp, gemmy white to colorless Quartz crystals and very minor tan Dolomite. There are some minor spots on this specimen where the characteristic blood red color can be seen in strong the light. These crystals have not been seen with much frequency in years, and they are mong the finest Hubnerites ever found. Please note that the blue color on the piece is clay / tack, and not another mineral.
