Teallite (rare sulfosalt)

Item Description

Teallite is a rare lead, tin sulfosalt seldom found; and this rich and showy specimen is from an uncommon minewhich produced historically in the heyday of Bolivian mining - the Carguaicollo Mine. Splendent, lamellar teallite lathes to 1.2 cm in a 2.0 cm wide vein richly cover all four sides on this rich piece and shoot out from a vein bordered by ore on either side. Very rare in this richness and quality, this piece has superb crystals all over it! It can also be easily trimmed in half to yield two similar and equally ricvh miniatures. Hefty tin ore for the size at 186 grams. Valued at $500-600
