Bismuth with molybdenite, 6 cm, from the Harp of Erin mine, Wolfram Camp, Dimbulah, Queensland, Australia. I excavated this specimen out of massive quartz from the greisen occurrences at Wolfram Camp. I had permission to visit the mines and collect on weekends for several months while I was exploring for gold and porphyry copper deposits in North Queensland in February 1970.
