Item Description
Tellurobismuthite is relatively uncommon bismuth telluride, named for its composition. This is a very rare and very rich specimen of splendent, silvery-metallic tellurobismuthite plates with visible gold flecks! Very seldom on this market in this quality, richness and combination with visible gold. This mine operated from 1924-1967, so this is old-time high-grade ore. Purchased at Munich from a systematic collector, who obtained this in 1975 according to the label. actually, a pretty specimen in person. Valued ??
