Item Description
Sharp native bismuth crystals are relatively rare, with the famed Erzgebirge producing about the best. A very sharp, moderately lustrous, bismuth crystal peppered on top with pyrite or chalcopyrite microcrystals is jauntily perched on smaller crystals. Complete all-around and pristine. An outstanding, sharp thumbnail crystal of this native element. ex Sal Avella collection, ex Harvard specimen. valued $250
