Item Description
Mineral specimens from this less well-known Butte mine are rare. Intergrown, sharp, lustrous, pastel-pink rhombs to 1.6 cm attractively cover the sulfide matrix. Dinged crystals in one area and a modest bit of periphery wear are noted, but are certainly minimal detractions to this rare, fine and rich older specimsn. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. Ex Robert Chadbourne Collection of Colorado Springs, according to Bob's label. A must for the species or locality collector.
