| 8116 5hhmliss ((STANNITE, ARSENOPYRITE, QUARTZ)), $100 MINIMUM BID, Yaogangxian Mine, Yizhang, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, China, 7.5 x 6.5 x 3.2 cm, Cabinet | |
 | Here is a cabinet specimen with 1 cm crystals of the rarer species Stannite. These are large crystals for Stannite from Yaogangxian which produced excellent Bournonite and Stannite specimens several years ago when the material started to flow out of China. Yaogangxian specimens are either not coming out anymore and or have greatly increased in prices that have caused new material not to come into the U S mineral market. I heard that the Fluorite, etc are no longer able to be acquired from China. This specimen also has silvery Arsenopyrite crystals on Quartz. |
