Item Description
At 192 grams, this is a rather large, extremely robust crystal of the rare species bustamite. It comes from the old worldwide suite of the Gene Meieran collection (with his label). It is very well formed, 3-dimensional, and one of the best large examples I have seen for sale. It does have some minor, I think acceptable, wear on some edges. This is old, probably mined prior to the 1950s, I am told. Valued $2000
