Ex. Sakurai Collection
$25 ~SOLD~

A curiously formed chalcocite crystal from Japan. This "old timer" specimen was originally collected by the late Dr. Kin-ichi Sakurai. The Sakurai Collection was widely considered the greatest private mineral collection in Japan. The majority of the collection is in the National Science Museum in Tokyo, although a small number of specimens made their way into private hands. There are currently several specimens from the Sakurai Collection on the site.
