Item Description

Molybdenite specimens are very uncommon from this famous open pit copper mine. A rich jackstraw cluster of metallic-gray plates fills a sculptural vug lined with quartz crystals in the quartz-rich matrix on this showy and excellent piece. Fine combination material from the Bob Trimingham Collection. It displays well without aid. A must for the locality or species collector.
