Mineral Specimens with Hinsdalite
- 3 specimens selected
2.2 x 2.0 x 2.0 cm. Hinsdalite is a rare lead sulfate/phosphate and to find it pseudomorphing a rich bed of sharp pyromorphite barrels artistically set atop matrix is indeed, RARE. This fine, old-time thumbnail is from the Zeehan Queen Mine of Tasmania, Australia.
3.0 x 2.5 x 1.3 cm. Hinsdalite is a rare lead sulfate/phosphate and to find it pseudomorphing a rich bed of acicular pyromorphite crystals artistically set on matrix is indeed, RARE. There are even 3 un-pseudomorphed green pyromorphite sprays, which makes it even RARER! This fine, old-time thumbnail is from the Zeehan Queen Mine of Tasmania, Australia. Ex. Carl Davis Collection.
Bright, yellow-green, hexagonal crystals to 5 mm of hinsdalite pseudomorphing pyromorphite richly cover matrix of this uncommon phosphate from the Sylvester Mine of Tasmania. This excellent piece was part of the old stock of dealer Dr. Gary Hansen and has not been shown since the early 1980s! This is also an uncommon and desirable pseudo. 5.3 x 2.9 x 2.4 cm
