Item Description

Lorandite is a rare thallium arsenic sulfide, and this superb combination thumbnail hails from the Type Locality in Macedonia. This well-formed, 9 mm, dark red crystal of Lorandite is nicely accented with orange-yellow Orpiment and minute Realgar. Thallium is not a major constituent of many mineral species and this is a fine crystal of this rare mineral from the Type Locality. Originally priced at $175.
