Item Description

A good quality association specimen from the famous San Jose mine. This piece was mined circa 1980, and is a great miniature of this now hard to find material. It features hundreds of excellent quality, rare, prismatic, silvery-grey "needles" of Zinkenite. There were only a handful of these specimens back in the day, and they're some of the best crystals of Zinkenite you'll find from virtually anywhere.
