***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Rutheniridosmine

Choco Department, Colombia

up to 1mm

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A very rare example of rutheniridosmine from Colombia!!! This is a group of small, brilliant silver metallic crystals that range in size to 1mm (which is significant for the species)!!! Rutheniridosmine is a rare combination of platinum group minerals, consisting of ruthenium, iridium, and osmium (this is also from where its name was derived - RUTHENium, IRIDium, and OSMIum)!!! Many of the crystals exhibit plate-like forms with hexagonal growth features!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see hexagonal details and characteristic features!!! RARE material!!! 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 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
