Item Description
Lorandite is a rare thallium-arsenide and this excellent combination thumbnail hails from the Type Locality in Macedonia. Two, adjacent, sharp, dark cherry-red lorandite crystals to 3 mm are well-placed on the matrix covered with lustrous, translucent, orange-red, realgar prisms. This old-timer dates to before 1905, when George English sold his business. Ex University of Arizona Collection.
