Item Description

Semseyite is an uncommon Pb-Sb sulfosalt and the famous Herja Mine has produced some very fine examples, such as this cutie. A 1.3 cm pinwheel of brilliant metallic plates is aesthetically set atop the mounded matrix of lustrous, jet-black sphalerite twins. Classic and excellent combination from an East Coast collection. The former dealer label has a $275 price.
