Zinkenite with Stannite (rare association) (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

These specimens came out of this mine in the late 1970s - early 1980s, and they are still some of the most unique and rare association specimens from any locality. This piece features small, semi lustrous, sharp, dark "brass" colored, crystals of the rare copper iron tin sulfide Stannite associated with dozens of excellent quality, highly lustrous, metallic grey color prisms of the lead antimony sulfide Zinkenite. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only locality in the world where these two species are found together. There were only a handful of these specimens found. This is a very choice specimen and a great quality small miniature for what it is. Ex Brian Kosnar collection.
