Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of calomel, montroydite, and terlinguaite from Texas!!! This specimen hosts numerous submillimeter crystals of
reddish montroydite in association with greenish terlinguaite and calomel!!! Let me start by saying that the pictures don't even come
close to doing this specimen justice!!! Upon close examination with a loupe or scope this specimen hosts some impressive examples of
montroydite and terlinguaite!!! There is a tiny amount of native mercury as well!!! This specimen retains old
labels from both Bill Pinch and Dr. F.P. D'Esopo as well!!! Dr. D'Esopo was a friend and
protege of Bill Pinch (from whom he acquired many of his specimens) and
under his tutelage amassed a truly significant species collection of impressive breadth and quality!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
