Item Description

A really cool association specimen from the classic locality at Niederschlema, Saxony, Germany featuring sharp, semi-skeletal, metallic, silvery-grey Native Bismuth associated with grey Safflorite and minor silvery-grey Native Arsenic. The piece was difficult to photograph in close ups, but it's well crystallized and looks better in person. Good quality for the material, and these are some of the most attractive Native Bismuth crystals I've seen. Valued at $1000.
