Item Description
Semseyite is an uncommon lead, antimony sulfosalt, seldom found in well-formed crystal groups such as this. This is an EXCELLENT, rich specimen covered with clusters of sharp sprays of lightly iridescent, metallic-luster semseyite blades on battleship-gray galena cube. This is a very showy 3-dimensional, piece. From near the Type Locality. These are not found today and are truly rarities classics. Valued $500-600 depending on one's love for rare black minerals. But it is, at least, pretty for what it is... Ex Gene Meieran Collection.
