Semseyite on Quartz

Item Description

This is a stunning specimen for the species in ANY size, with unique aesthetics and surely a very old specimen of an uncommon lead antimony sulfosalt: A particularly elegant example of a species which is seldom "elegant" in specimen form. The specimen features a massive matrix with a gorgeous quartz crystal as counterpoint to a highly lustrous, dark gray, fan shaped, crystal cluster of semseyite. From the award-winning thumbnail collection of Sharon and William Panczner, author of the book Minerals Of Mexico, and last seen and exhibited in the 1960s and recently rediscovered. This is a significant specimen for the species, for its quality and display. It also happens to be one of the great thumbnails of this species I could dream of, with the association. A major specimen, and one of the more unique things in this collection, valued $1250-1500
