Item Description

The Yaogangxian Mine in China for many years has been producing a wide number of excellent crystallized minerals, including arguably the finest Stannites extant. This piece is a good small cabinet sized piece features a group of metallic, dark brassy colored, lustrous Stannite crystals which are sitting atop a metallic, silvery, thick bladed crystal of Arsenopyrite on white Quartz matrix. Translucent, soft green colored Fluorite can be seen on the piece as well for a nice touch. The entire Stannite group measures 3.7 cm at its longest dimension. There is a bit of roughness in spots, so the piece is not 100% pristine, but it's still a showy example of these classic Stannites from one of the premier localities in all of China. Ex Colin Manlove collection.
