Hubnerite (gemmy) on Quartz

Item Description

This is a very attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. A layered group of very sharp, rather lustrous, prismatic, parallel growth crystals of Hubnerite beautifully sitting atop colorless, TRANSPARENT to gemmy Quartz crystals. A few of the crystals are contacted / nicked, but good shape overall. Some of the finest quality crystallized Hubnerite in the world comes from this mine, and an attractive display specimen like this is not common to find. The best part of this particular piece is the fact that the Hubnerites show the classic fiery blood red color when backlit! Valued at $750.
