Item Description
Lollingites (a species related to arsenopyrite) from this mine are being hailed as best of species material. This piece features a front and center, 4.0 cm, spear-shaped, lustrous, silvery crystal surrounded by lustrous, light pink, manganoan calcite disks to 2.5 cm. A fine combination specimen from recent finds of mid-2012 (found in April). Unlike most such pieces found this has dramatic 3-dimensional aesthetics and clearly shows the bladed crystal standing up. Super fluorescence!
