Item Description
An incredibly rare specimen of the lead copper antimony sulfosalt Meneghinite from Pacific Limestone Products Quarry in California. It features a rich patch of metallic silvery-grey crystals on host rock matrix. It's certinaly good for the species and locality. This is one of only a handful of pieces of this species that we've seen, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
