Item Description
A very rare micro specimen of the brilliant reddish-orange, tetragonal crystals of the lead tungstate Stolzite sitting on Quartz matrix. I have never had a piece of this material to offer in the auctions, and frankly I don't know if I've ever seen one in person before. Attention micro collectors or collectors of secondary ore minerals, this is a great opportunity to pick up an attractive specimen of this elusive material. We photographed this piece with a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality.
