Tlapallite with Hessite

Tombstone District, Tombstone Hills, Cochise Co., Arizona

6.45cm x 5.47cm x 2.84cm

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

An incredible example of this rare tellurate from this historic locale!!! This specimen hosts a very rich showing of lively green tlapallite in association with significant masses of hessite!!! There are significant crusts and small botryoids of bright green talapalite richly scattered throughout the matrix!!! There appear to be two different hues of green tlapallite present (or possibly an additional species)!!! There are numerous significant masses of grayish metallic hessite scattered about as well!!! The hessite is very rich for the locality - with some areas being significant, solid masses of hessite (some areas that show minor wear reveal silver-gray metallic luster)!!! Upon close inspection it appears that there are some complex cavities left by skeletal crystals that have since altered or dissolved!!! This is a very significant specimen for the locality!!! Rare old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
