Umangite (very rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

Talk about rare! You just don't have the opportunity to purchase specimens of this material, period. This piece fatures beautiful metallic reddish-purple Umangite (a rare copper selenide) intermixed with green Malachite to create a gorgeous two-tone effect. We RARELY have a piece of this material to offer, and if you're a rare species collector, don't miss out on this one. This is one of only a handful of pieces of this species that we've seen, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
