Peretaite (TL) with Klebelsbergite, Kermesite, Stibnite etc.
Pereta Mine, Pereta, Scanbsano, Grosetto Province
Tuscany, Italy
6.3 x 4.1 x 2.9 CM (cabinet)
price: $150
Pre Tucson
A host of rare Antimony species on Stibnite. From the collection of Ruth and Andy Palmer (species collectors working with the late Dr. Joe Mandarino) there are likely several other species present that were not identified yet when this specimen was catalogued. The Peretite are white flattened habit crystals, from the type locality associated with Klebelsbergite on Stibnite. Areas of reddish Kermesite crystals are in several vugs and a few isolated Sulfur crystals are noted as well. Though not identified on the collection ledger or labels it seems there is both Metastibnite and Stibiconite as well. A nice suite of rare minerals in these micro crystals from an important mineralogical locality.
