9.0 x 7.2 x 6.0 cm. A very large fine specimen of iridescent berthierite crystals, with a bit of attached matrix.
3 x 2.4 x 1.1 cm. A sharp specimen featuring a series of stacked Andorite crystals (excellent silvery luster and sharp tabular form) with sprays of superb Berthierite needles growing within several pockets on the specimen. A rare and unusual combination piece. Ex. Wendell E. Wilson Collection.
16.7 x 10.0 x 8.5 cm. Lustrous, metallic berthierite crystals with bladed clusters to over 10 cm.
4.0 x 2.2 x 1.7 cm. Berthierite is an uncommon iron, antimony sulfosalt. This fine specimen of solid berthierite features iridescent, blue, bronzey, silvery and golden acicular crystals and is from a classic German locale - the Neue Hoffnung Gottes Mine near Freiberg. Old-time material. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
10 x 7 x 4 cm. This is a heavy specimen of mixed Pribram ores with embedded berthierite crystals, which are rare for the locality. This long resided in his personal reference collection of Czech classics of Josef Vajdak, a rare species mineral dealer from New York, now 80 years of age. Josef claims to have done research indicating that these were found in the 1880s, and considered this a very good example of this rarity for the locale. Note the minor stibnite in association, also a rarity for the locale.
A very large showy specimen of iridescent berthierite crystals, with a bit of attached matrix. This is a remarkable, large, and frankly quite attractive clustre for the species, which is an Iron Antimony Sulfide. I have seen many smaller ones over the years, but only a few of this stature.

A large cluster of radiating crystals of berthierite, very sharp and elegant for the species. The matrix is siderite, which also dusts some crystal tips and proves them unbroken. This is an old specimen, and such rich, large examples are seldom seen today. Ex Bob Whitmore collection.. Joe Budd photos
A very large showy specimen of lustrous, metallic berthierite crystals, with huge bladed clusters to over 10 cm. This is a remarkable, large, and frankly quite attractive clustre for the species, which is a rare Iron Antimony Sulfide. I have seen many smaller ones over the years, but only a few of this stature. This is from an old European collection, and is a significant specimen for this rare sulfide species (and the largest I have seen for sale).
