Mercurian Tetrahedrite - var. Schwazite (Ref: 16.1-716)
Brixlegg, Schwatz area, Inn Valley, North Tyrol, Tyrol, Austria
70mm x 51mm x 48mm
Schwazite is the old name for this rare Mercury-rich Tetrahedrite, from the classic type locality of Schwaz (Austria). This is a well-crystalized specimen of the variety, something almost never seen in the market. Most of the large crystals are in very good condition, though there is some broken bits as seen but minor and forgivable in this fragile specie. The biggest crystal is large for the variety at 1.6 CM across most others are about 1 CM. Recently the name for this specie is proposed to become Tetrahedrite Hg, but for now and for over 100 years it has been Schwazite. Classic, rare and far better than average.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
