Hubnerite with Quartz

Item Description

This is a very attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. Many sharp, lustrous, prismatic, parallel growth crystals of Hubnerite measuring up to 5.7 cm associated with white to colorless, gemmy Quartz crystals. There are some minor spots on this specimen where the characteristic blood red color can be seen reflecting in the light. These crystals have not been seen with much frequency in years, and they are mong the finest Hubnerites ever found. A little damage here and there, but still very showy and three-dimensional, which is not common for this material. From an old East Coast collection, and comes with a label from New York dealer, Larry Conklin, valued originally at $1750.
