14bttj.es, ((TIEMANNITE)), $95 MINIMUM BID, near Marysvale, Piute County, Utah, 2.2 x 1.5 x .5 cm, Thumbnail, | |
Tiemannite is a very rare Mercury Selenide. It is probably from the Lucky Boy Mine in Piute County. One mindat.org 18 give the Lucky Boy Mine locality and 9 give a more general locality. Great coverage. With my average microscope I do not see large well defined crystals. They look like well defined botryoidal blobs. Maybe a higher powered microscope is needed. ex Tony Jones specimen, ex Dave Shannon specimen. |
