This is a very attractive association specimen from one of the most famous classic Peruvian localities. Several sharp, lustrous, prismatic, parallel growth crystals of Hubnerite form a crystallized "fan" with several gemmy Quartz crystals and rarely seen grey Native Arsenic on the reverse side of the piece. There are some minor spots on this specimen where the characteristic blood red color can be seen reflecting in the light. These crystals have not been seen with much frequency in years, and they are among the finest Hubnerites ever found. The piece comes from the famous Richard Kosnar collection and is amazingly good shape for the material.
