A fantastic example of native arsenic with proustite from Germany!!! This specimen consists of a rich network of native arsenic crystals that host
numerous tiny, brilliant ruby red crystals of proustite!!! Upon close inspection I was surprised to find that this specimen actually hosts CRYSTALLINE
arsenic, not simply botryoidal forms!!! The arsenic crystals are submillimeter in size but are some of the best I have seen for the locality under magnification!!!
The proustite crystals have brilliantly intense ruby red color!!! In addition, if one is looking under a scope, there are a few xanthoconite crystals to be found as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! DON'T FORGET these auctions will be still be ending on
