Pseudoboleite with "Bindheimite" and Paratacamite (rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

A very rare association specimen featuring micro blue Pseudoboleite with yellowish "Bindheimite" (the status of which is now questionable with the IMA due to the fact that the species has been inadequately described, and it's possible that all "Bindheimite" is actually Oxyplumboromeite) along with micro green Paratacamite. The piece is labeled as coming from the San Francisco Mine, but Pseudomboleite is not reported from this locality, so it might be from another locality in Sierra Gorda. This is the only piece of this material that we have to offer, and comes with a classic label from Czech mineral specialist, Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
