Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic example of this rare telluride from Colorado!!! This is a group of three individual specimens that came from old material at the University of Helsinki Mineral Museum!!! All three specimens exhibit a significant showing of brilliantly metallic silver altaite in association with empressite!!! Upon close inspection the two species are readily apparent with the altaite exhibiting pronounced cleavage!!! There may be some other tellurides in minor association as well!!! This specimen retains an old label from the University of Helsinki as well (additional label info notes empressite)!!! 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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 21st!!!
