Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of stibarsen from Mexico!!! This specimen consists of a showy, brilliantly metallic, botryoidal
mass of stibarsen!!! Upon close examination one can see there there are also tiny crystals of native antimony intergrown within the
stibarsen!!! In addition to the stibarsen and native antimony, there are several areas that host fine crystals
of valentinite - present as tan colored prismatic crystals!!! Upon close inspection one can also see a few compressed sprays of
deep red kermesite as well!!! This specimen is from the University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum and the collection of H.C. Van
Tassel as well!!! Rare old time mateial!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
