MD-170107 - Emmonsite - - Archived San Miguel Mine, Moctezuma, Mun. de Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico small cabinet, 6.3 x 4.1 x 1.1 cm.
6.3 x 4.1 x 1.1 cm. Emmonsite is a VERY rare IRON TELLURITE (!) that is known from only a few locales in the world, and then usually only as scattered microcrystals. This specimen has, also, extremely rich coverage over a large display area, that makes it fairly significant but also pretty - it looks like green sugar was dropped on the matrix. Ex. Martin Zinn Collection.
MD-280528 - Tellurium, Emmonsite - - Archived Silver City, Grant Co., New Mexico, USA small cabinet, 6.0 x 3.5 x 2.2 cm.
6.0 x 3.5 x 2.2 cm. Brilliant, silver-metallic, parallel-growth lathes of native tellurium are scattered on both sides of this very rare, older specimen from Silver City, New Mexico. The large lathe is 1.0 cm, large for the species. The lathes are in a very rich matrix of tellurium microcrystals and massive ore. Richly dispersed on the matrix are green crystal clusters of the rare iron, tellurium oxide emmonsite. This is probably 100 year-old material, but no proof. Ex. George Elling Collection. Weighs 63 grams.
MRZ266 - Emmonsite - $ 400 San Miguel Mine, Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico small cabinet, 6.3 x 4.1 x 1.1 cm ex. Martin Zinn
Emmonsite is a VERY rare IRON TELLURITE (!) that is known from only a few locales in the world, and then usually only as scattered microcrystals. I have seen only a few specimens ever that have crystals larger than this. This specimen has , also, extremely rich coverage over a large display area, that makes it fairly significant but also pretty - it looks like green sugar was dropped on the matrix.
