Stephanite (very rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

A very rare specimen collected in 1900 from the world famous Pribram District in the Czech Republic. Micro silvery Stephanite associated with Pyrite and Quartz on matrix. We have used a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens in order to photograph the piece up close. This is one of only a handful of pieces of this species that we've seen, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
