Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely INCREDIBLE example of this rare species from this seldom referenced Utah locale!!! This specimen hosts incredible, brilliantly
metallic, prismatic crystals of bismuthinite to over 3cm on a matrix of etched calcite and other related species!!! There
are numerous crystals that actually show complete terminations as well!!! Significant crystals of bismuthinite
are rare in and of themselves, however well-formed and terminated crystals are exponentially more rare!!! Upon
close inspection one can see a small amount of other species, including pyrite, quartz crystals, and some small yet
sharply formed magnetite crystals replaced by limonite as well!!! Simply an extraordinary example
of this rare species!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 19th!!!
