Item Description
A very hard to find specimen of highly desirable Native Tellurium from the Type Locality in Romania! This area is actually a Dana locality {Dana 7 (p. 139)} which is listedd at Faczebaja which is the old Hungarian name Facebanya. This piece is filled with bright "tin-white" metallic Tellurium on Quartz matrix. I've photographed the piece under the microscope to better illustrate the quality. A great representative specimen of this cool native element.
