Native Arsenic

Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, Alberni Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada

6.73cm x 3.85cm x 2.76cm

Ex. H. C. Van Tassel Collection No. 1271

Ex. University of Delaware


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic, old time example of native arsenic from Canada!!! Examples of crystalline arsenic quite scarce indeed!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of botryoidal native arsenic that is coated with numerous, sharply formed crystals of native arsenic!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that the crystals are very well formed, with sharp detail and areas of slightly metallic luster!!! There are also a few small, sharp and lustrous calcite crystals present as well!!! Simply a magnificent example of the species for the locale!!! This specimen is from the University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum and retains an old label from the collection of H.C. Van Tassel as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
