Hubnerite, Tetrahedrite
Pasto Bueno District, Pallasca Province, Ancash Department, Peru
Cabinet, 10.9 x 10.5 x 9.4 cm
SOLD
A very large combo specimen featuring an incredibly impressive row of HUGE, complete and terminated crystals of hubnerite, on the edge of a cluster of massive and crystallized tetrahedrite. These hubnerites measure up to 7 cm! They have sharp, angular terminations, all perfectly intact! The crystals are actually a gemmy, very deep red - but as with all hubnerites of this size, you can only see this if you hold them up under a very strong light source. This is an old-timer, and just an incredibly impressive example for the hubnerite species; the association with the tetrahedrite adds an extra punch.
