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 "spray" which hosts several white 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 specimens have not been seen with much frequency in years, and they are among the finest Hubnerites ever found. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
