Molybdenite (unusual crystal habit)

Item Description

A select and very attractive Molybdenite crystal from the famous locality of Onganja. The pyramidal crystal is 1.8 cm across and 1.5 cm deep. The luster and form of this layered crystal is fabulous - it is sharp along the sides and mirror-like along the face. Rarely will you find a Molybdenite crystal this well-formed, and on matrix, no less. Truly exceptional for species, in my mind, because the crystal habit itself is wildly interesting and different from the common sorts.
