A second piece from my personal collection, this is a hefty pair of molybdenite books from a long closed and abandoned tungsten mine. It is rare to see such hefty molybdenites from anywhere, leave alone from Korea. I’ve never seen another specimen from this mine, either—most Korean specimens are from Taehwa, or the amethyst workings.
