Item Description
Paratellurite and emmonsite are rare tellurites and are EXTREMELY RARE in combination from this obscure, extinct Colorado gold-lead-silver mine. This sculptural piece of rich ore includes a large pod, of sparkly, microcrystalline lead-gray paratellurite in quartz-rich matrix richly covered with green emmonsite. Collected in 1934, according to the label from a major rarities collector. A MUST for the locality or species collector. Value???
