Item Description
Sharp octohedral crystals to 5 mm present nicely on this small miniature. This is a rare species, and these old specimens were found by the old French exploration service BRGM, prior to the 1950s and even as far back as the 1850s at this TYPE LOCATION. Odds are, that this was one of the specimens found on one of those French expeditions, considering where it is coming out of now... The associated black specks are likely another antimony species. Valued at $200
