Scorodite (uncommon locale) ex Belsky Coll.

Item Description

Mineral specimens from this tungsten and tin deposit (closed in 1984) are very rare and are extremely rare on the market. Scintillating, gemmy and lustrous, sharply terminated, sea-green, scorodite microcrystals festoon a well-placed vug in starkly contrasting albite from this very uncommon Portugeuse localtiy - the Bejanca Mine. The nifty 2.7 cm vug in the lower center is lined with teminated quartz crystals and hosts the largest scorodite, at 3 mm. Extremely rare in the quality and richness from this locale. The scorodites look purple/lavender in the photos, but are sea-green. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Valued $400-500
