A magnificent example of this very rare bismuth selenide from the type locale in Mexico!!! This
specimen hosts a very rich showing of silvery-gray metallic paraguanajuatite in matrix!!! While
there are rich masses and veins of paraguanajuatite present, there are also numerous, triangular partial crystals
embedded in the matrix as well!!! And - upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see several exposed crystals scattered
about as well!!! This is a KILLER example of this very rare species indeed!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 5000+
specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very
exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!

***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
