Hessite on Quartz
Although reported from over one hundred localities worldwide in reality there is only one area where significant crystals of this unusual silver telluride species are found - in Alba county in Romania. Specimens are usually old - dating to the 19th century - and prices are typically extremely high for a well-crystallized matrix piece. This large thumbnail specimen from Botești, Zlatna, Alba, Romania is a superb compromise, featuring very rich Hessite crystals on crystallized Quartz matrix, but at a more affordable price. As is typical of this species, the crystals are dark grey with a rounded, almost waxy appearance.
