Item Description

An excellent and very aesthetic Mexican classic. A striking V of two sharp pseudomorphs of tan stibiconite after stibnite are preferentially peppered with glassy calcite rhombs. The large pseudos are pristine, terminated and retain the stibnite striations. Specimens of this small cabinet size and quality are rarely encountered today from the mines at Real de Catorce. A great older Mexican classic from the Dennis Mullane Collection. 1970s or older.
