Item Description

Mineral specimens of ANY type are RARE from this obscure mine in the famous Colquechaca silver district. Teallite is a rare Pb-Sn sulfosalt. Splendent, lamellar teallite lathes cover both sides of this very rich solid vein. Very rare in this richness and quality, this piece has superb crystals on both sides. It is good on its own merits, for the species. Extremely rare and highly desirable self-collected material by Art Soregaroli from this locale. Valued at $1000.
