2608ar ((BARITE on GALENA with WURTZITE)), $75 MINIMUM BID, Quiruvilca District, La Libertad Department, Peru, 7 x 4.5 x 4 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is a lustrous cluster of somewhat skeletal Galena crystals. On the Galena are white Barite crystals. There is some minor chipping to the Barite crystals but overall in great shape. On the bottom is a 1 cm cluster of Wurtzite with a gold iridescent coating. To me these have the look of Ladysmith Wisconsin gold iridescent Chalcocite although they are Wurtzite on this Peruvian specimen. |
