Item Description

A RARE pseudomorph specimen featuring somewhat "velvety", tiny grey-black crystals of Jamesonite replacing prismatic crystals of the rare lead silver antimony sulfosalt, Fizelyite sitting on crystallized, lustrous black "Marmatite" Sphalerite matrix. The pseudomorphs look beautiful up close. No major damage anywhere, just a few tiny "rubs" that I can see. If you collect sulfides / sulfosalts or rare and unusual pseudomorphs, this piece fills in all the boxes at once! I've only seen a few of these over the years, and nothing has been found in quite some time, so don't miss out on this chance to get your hands of a special and unique specimen from this historic locality. From the worldwide pseudomorph collection of Wouter Van Tichelen.
