Item Description

Sharp crystallization, scuptural form of both the crystal rosettes and the specimen and bright metallic-gray luster compose this excellent, rich and aesthetic specimen. Semseyite is an uncommon lead, antimony sulfosalt, seldom found in well-formed crystal groups such as this. A couple spots of trivail bruising are noted, but certainly have minimal impact on this striking piece. Classic older material from this district, now hard to find. Ex Giancarlo Fioravanti Collection and purchased in Romania in 1972. valued $400
