Molybdenite, exceptionally large crystals, 16 cm, from the Leisner shaft, Harp of Erin mine, Wolfram Camp, Queensland, Australia. I found this in August, 1970 in a large boulder that the Nicholls brothers were using as a wheel chock for a truck but was only allowed to remove the boulder if I replaced it with another.
