Although this small cabinet specimen would not win any prizes in the beauty stakes, it is a fine example displaying rich crystals of the rare species Dyscrasite, from the Consols mine at Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia. The chunky, arborescent Dyscrasite crystals form an open, splayed branches measuring to 3 cm, all with a reddish silvery to dark chocolate brown patina. Consols mine is one of the less well know mine at Broken Hill, probably because it was only worked for thirteen years following its discovery in 1890. The Consols lode lay east of the line of lode and a little south of North mine, just under 2 km south of the intersection between Holten Drive and Menindee Road. Dyscrasite, a silver antimonide, is extremely rare at Broken Hill and this is a magnificent example of museum quality and size!
