Berthierite
stock #16.1-712
Herold, Ehrenfriedersdorf, Erzgebirge
Saxony, Germany
9.4 x 7.1 x 3.1 CM (cabinet)
price: $165


Rich well crystalized German Berthierite from Saxony. An older specimen with several previous labels, this has very distinct crystals and bright luster. This is noticeably different from better known Romanian Berthierite due to a much brighter luster and vivid golden- silver colors. The specimen has an unusually detailed locality information, roughly translated as the 115M level on track 15, new camp area of the Herold mine. Berthierite is not usually considered as an attractive mineral but this is far more flashy than typical.

Berthierite w. Stibnite
stock #AX-12-320
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.
