Item Description

An incredibly hard to find specimen of Molybdenite from this remote locality in the British Virgin Islands! It's the ONLY specimen of this material that we've had to offer. Eye-catching, silvery, metallic hexagonal foliated crystals of Molybdenite measuring up to 1.0 cm across, sit atop off-white colored massive Quartz matrix. There are some contacted areas, the piece is not completely undamaged, but it's more than just a reference specimen, it's the kind of piece that you're not likely to find anywhere else on the market, and if you collect sulfides, molybdenum-bearing minerals, or just oddball localities, this is a great opportunity to pick up something that it's virtually impossible to obtain.
