An excellent and very showy combination specimen from the well-known find of blocky, highly lustrous and partially gemmy, deep red heubnerite crystals aesthetically set amongst jackstraw, water-clear quartz needles from the Victoria Mine at Mundo Nuevo, Peru. The Victoria Mine closed in 1974. This pristine and beautiful specimen is from the Brent Lockhart Collection, who purchased this piece from the Zweibels in 1983. Seldom available in this quality today.
