Berthierite w. Stibnite
Herja Mine, Chiuzbala , Baia Mare
Maramures, Romania
15.7 x 6.2 x 5.4 CM (cabinet)
price: $1700
Spring 2019
A super, large display specimen of a specie that is not often considered as a display-worthy mineral! A brushy tree like spray of well defined Berthierite with fine steel- grey color and very bright luster. In perfect condition and good looking on all sides, this is an older piece from the Herja Mine, ex Carter Rich and William Hladysz. This area of Romania produced what are by far the worlds best of the specie and this is a top percentile specimen that is certainly among the very best pieces. Now that the mines are closed this is certainly to be considered a classic. Much better in person.
