Wakabayashilite (rare - circa 1900)

Item Description

Wakabayashilite is a rare As-Sb sulfosalt. This super-rare and excellent old-timer is from this well-known Nevada mine, collected circa 1900. A 3.0 cm long cluster of highly lustrous, golden-yellow, soft fibers is attached to the edge of the thin matrix plate. Such material was formerly known as hair "orpiment", until it was correctly identified in 1969! Rare and very rarely on the market. Value???
