Item Description

This is a very attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. There are several sharp, lustrous, prismatic, somewhat blocky crystals of very dark red (essentially black) Hubnerite associated with colorless/white translucent Quartz crystals. Great aesthetics, and in great shape overall. The piece was mined over 30 years ago, and is a very attractive display piece and great quality to boot.
