Item Description
Durangite is an ultra rare sodium arsenate and this killer thumbnail plate is richly covered with gemmy and lustrous, dark cherry-red crystals to 4 mm. Oustanding material from the famous Thomas Range, and super rare in crystals above 1 mm or in such rich color. This is a small but VERY choice piece. Valued at $300-400. I obtained it in the 1990s in a small lot from collector Thomas Holfert
