A significant example of this very rare iron tellurite chloride mineral species Rodalquilarite, from the world's best location for this species: the classic mines of Chile. The spherical crystal aggregate of sharp crystals is 1.5 cm across, and is pristine. It sits attractively and contrasted upon lustrous Alunite crystals. A great and very difficult to obtain piece from this classic locality. Ex. William "Bill" Wallace Pinch (August 15, 1940 – April 1, 2017) collection (his last exchange deal to me, before he passed away, included this specimen which we have had since that time). Bill said he bought it because he knew that it was world class, although it did not fit his major suites for location or chemistry; and that is why he sold it to me. At the time, he stated that this was, to his knowledge, best-of-species for size and quality and aesthetics overall. Note that it can be trimmed to a fantastic miniature with more balance, as well.
