Valentinite - Pyrite
Dimensions: 4.3 x 2.7 x 2cm
Location: San José Mine, Oruro City, Cercado Province, Bolivia
Rare antimony oxide from the San Jose mine which provided the best known pieces. These Valentinites combined with small pyrite crystals are perfect, very aesthetic with a silky shine. The diameter of the crystallized whole of 1.9cm is exceptional. A remarkable sample, to my knowledge one of the best in the world for this species.
Dimensions without the acrylic base, which is supplied with the mineralogical specimen.
