Sharp, angular, silvery-grey metallic crystallized Native Bismuth with its characteristic extremely dense feel. This super miniature specimen of this rare metallic element is from the zoned lithium, beryllium and caesium-rich granite pegmatites at the long closed Rubikon mine at Okongava Ost Farm 72, Karibib, Erongo, Namibia. Best-known for some of the world's largest Petalite crystals, this mine has also, rarely, produced exceptionally rich Native Bismuth. This specimen is entirely natural Bismuth metal, as Native Bismuth.
