CXC27 Hutchinsonite with Orpiment
Quiruvilca Dist., Santiago de Chuco Prov., La Libertad Dept., Peruu
5.5x 4.0x 2.3 cm
$44
A nice sample of the very rare thallium-bearing mineral hutchinsonite, from finds made a couple years back at Quiruvilca. These were first found in the 80's and all but disappeared into collections. Over the last 3-4 years, a few small new finds of the material have been made. This one has a number of bright crystals on a dark matrix.
