Item Description

Bukovskyite is a very rare compound hydrated arsenate and this rich and rare large specimen is from the ancient Type Locality, where mining started in the 1300s (MINDAT). Earthy light brown nodular masses of bukovskyite richly cover all sides of the sculptural piece. Not pretty to look at, but this is a very significant and rich large example of the species and locale from the Ted Bartels Collection. It comes with Czech label and a label from respected Czech specialist, Joself Vajdak (Pequa Minerals). Those are pieces of cotton stuck on the piece, not damage.
