MD-232910 - Getchellite - - Archived Getchell Mine, Adam Peak, Potosi District, Humboldt Co., Nevada, USA thumbnail, 1.1 x 1.0 x 0.6 cm.
1.1 x 1.0 x 0.6 cm. Superb, platy crystals of this very rare Arsenic Antimony sulfide. Although a small specimen overall, it has truly outstanding quality to the crystals, which normally are more embedded, or broken. This specimen is from a small lot, from this type locality, that was recovered by one of the mine geologists in the mid 1980s and stashed away until it was released onto the market around 2005-2006. Ex. Bill Pinch Collection.
