Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this very rare gold lead copper iron telluride from Bisbee!!! This specimen consists of a handsome
group of pyrite crystals in association with a small amount of matrix!!! As it is, it is a terrific example
of pyrite from Bisbee in and of itself however, this is a significant example of bogdanovite as well!!! The bogdanovite
is present as minute, microscopic inclusions throughout the pyrite (confirmed by Tony Nikischer)!!! Upon close
examination one can see minute grains across the surface of the pyrite as well as unusual features throughout
and in the associated matrix as well!!! Not only is this a great example of this very rare gold lead copper
iron telluride, it is a terrific Bisbee specimen as well!!! This specimen retains a label from Excalibur
Minerals (Tony Nikischer) as well!!! Very rare material indeed!!! 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 MAY 19th!!!
