Hübnerite Tungsten Queen Mine and Plant, Vance Co., North Carolina 6.13cm x 4.71cm x 2.44cm Ex. Frank J. Tobey II

Description/Interesting Notes: A terrific, old time example of hubnerite from North Carolina!!! This specimen hosts a complex crystal of dark reddish brown hubnerite in quartz matrix!!! The crystal exhibits some highly complex faces and has some significant reddish highlights - much more so than the pictures show!!! The crystal measures nearly 3.4cm and there appears to be some minor tunstite in association as well!!! This specimen is from the collection of Frank J. Tobey II and retains his detailed label!!! The label notes that this specimen was "a gift of Lunsford Long, Tungsten Mining Corp., on occassion of Senate hearings on flooding mines - 13 july 1948"!!! A fantastic example of hubnerite from a seldom referenced locality, with fascinating provenance as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
