Cylindrite with Wurtzite

Santa Cruz Mine, Poopó Province, Oruro Department, Bolivia

2.92" x 1.84" x 1.19"

7.41cm x 4.68cm x 3.03cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific example of this rare, and most curious species, from the type locale in Bolivia!!! This specimen consists of a dense tangle of juxtaposed cylindrite crystals cemented together by wurtzite!!! In numerous vugs and cavities around the specimen there are small, yet fantastically well crystallized, wurtzite crystals!!! The cylindrite crystals are visible on every face and from all angles and range in size up to 1.3cm!!! Cylindrite's curious "cylindrical" habit is certainly unique in the mineral kingdom!!! In addition to the cylindrite and wurtzite, there is one small area where there is a dense tangle of short, needle like crystals in an almost spongiform mass tucked into a small vug that are presumed to be jamesonite!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this specimen justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 4th!!!
