A rare example of cylindrite from the type locality in Bolivia!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of cylindrite crystals in matrix!!! Cylindrite
is the only mineral species with a truly "cylindrical" habit!!! The crystals measure up to 3.5 cm - which is quite large for the species!!!
The crystals are sharply defined, lustrous, and long!!! Rarely does one see specimens with such well defined and prominent crystals!!! This specimen is from
the personal collection of noted scholar and collector Bob Jenkins and retains his original label!!! The bottom of the specimen has a curious brassy-golden
metallic species partially coating it!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
