Description
Hessite is one of those Holy Grail species (for thumbnail, rarity, or silver collectors in particular), but the problem is that the good ones were found in the mid-1800s in central Europe, and few existed and even fewer exist today outside of museums. This is a very important and highly competitive thumbnail example of the species with unusually formed and partly bent crystal flanked by more typically-formed, machined-sharp crystals. With magnification there is a visible, obviously old-time coating of an unidentified liquid. I think it could be easily removed and would improve the specimen a lot. Also such a KILLER THUMBER.
