Description

This is a huge crystallized Bismuth specimen from well known Saxonian locale Schacht 38 (Shaft 38) of Schlema. I have not seen such a massive and also elegant piece for sale since a longe time. It is fully crystallized along the display face with wonderfully hoppered individual crystals as well. In the world of magnificent elemental metals, Gold, Silver, Copper and native Bismuth is often an afterthought. But this oldtime specimen is wonderful, with crystals to 1,3 cm in diameter abounding on a matrix of massive Bismuth. The colour is actually somewhat iridescent bronze-coloured with definite hues of purple and pink, and excellent metallic luster; and the sheer number of well formed crystals makes this specimen rare and unique. This locality is no longer producing specimens, and this material has been relegated to the "old classics" category. And it is super AESTHETIC !!!
