Tsumoite (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

This rare bismuth telluride gets its name from the type locality, the Tsumo Mine, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. One of the best known localities for the species is the Bjorkdal Mine in Sweden. This piece features micro silvery white Tsumoite with native Gold in matrix. This is the only piece of this material that we've had to offer, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
