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 a pair of sharp, complex, twinned crystals
of alabandite in association with pink rhodochrosite!!! 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!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
