Item Description

A very hard to find specimen featuring crystallized silvery colored Lollingite in a matrix of Native Arsenic, Stibarsen and what was once called "Antemontite I" (as opposed to Antemontite II or III) which is now defined as an antimony-rich variety of Stibarsen. Veins of off-white Calcite can be seen as well. It's essentially a piece of ore from this historic locality, and certainly sought after by people who know and appreciate the material. This is one of the few pieces of this material that we have to offer and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value. You can read Joe's biography here: http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=1371 Do not miss out on this one if you collect rare minerals or anitmony minerals.
