Kuttigite (rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

A hard to find example of pink! Kuttigite from the Lill Mine in Pribram. Most people associated Kuttigite with the silvery-blue crystals from the Ojuela Mine in Mexico, but there are a few localities in central Europe where these rare pink examples are found. The piece features small pink crystals of Kuttigite associated with minor associated Galena and Siderite on matrix. Best seen under the microscope, but we were able to photograph it with a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens. This is the only piece of this material that we've had to offer, and it comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
