Item Description

Livingstonite is an ULTRA RARE, mercury, antimony sulfosalt and this rich and showy specimen hails from the Type Locality - Huitzuco, Guerrero, Mexico. Bright, steel-metallic livingstonite lathes to 1.2 cm are scattered on the rich antimony (stibnite) ore. OLDER material VERY SELDOM on the market. Ex Mullane Collection. Valued at least $750. We have not seen any of this material for sale, in over 5-6 years. It is a very rare specimen, with superb crystals for the material. We obtained a small sample in the Mullane collection that I broke into thrids to expose the good crystals inside and count myself lucky to have them
