Alabandite with Rhodochrosite Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru 4.25cm x 2.8cm x 1.6cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of alabandite with rhodochrosite from the recent find Peru!!! Examples of crystalline alabandite are extremely rare and these specimens from Peru represent the absolute pinnacle of the species!!! This specimen hosts numerous sharp, complex crystals of alabandite set in a matrix of pink rhodochrosite!!! Upon close examination some of the highly complex crystal features can be seen to be the result of some highly complex spinel law twinning as well!!! This is fantastic example of alabandite from this extraordinary find!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this rare specimen justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! It is my understanding that the small zone that contained this material has already been exhausted and it appears that what little material was already on the market has all but disappeared!!! No doubt this material is a future classic!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
