Item Description
Rammelsbergite is an uncommon Ni-arsenide and is VERY RARE in combination with nickeline, also a Ni-arsenide, from this obscure Iran mine. The hefty for the size ore wedge hosts rich granular masses of silver metallic rammelsbergite with bright bronzy nickeline on both sides of the quartx matrix. Rare, rich and choice combination material from the Gustav Beck and Eugene Carmichael Collections.
