Native Bismuth with Nickelskutterudite var. Chloanthite Jáchymov (St Joachimsthal), Krušné Hory Mts (Erzgebirge), Bohemia, Czech Republic 5.87cm x 5.75cm x 2.9cm Ex. A. E. Foote Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. DM-1600

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, old time example of native bismuth from this classic locality!!! This specimen hosts numerous metallic crystals of native bismuth in association with chloanthite in a quartz matrix!!! What makes this specimen unique is that the bismuth crystals exhibit all manner of complex habits, including hoppered crystals - upon close examination, one can see that each crystal is closely outlined by a tin white band of chloanthite!!! The specimen is much more rich and showy than the pics show!!! This specimen retains a label from the Seaman Mineral Museum as well as an old affixed A.E. Foote label!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
