Description

You are bidding on a small thumbnail mounted in a micro box, formerly in the collection of Micromounter Hall of Fame member Lou D'Alonzo. The sample hosts really nice, and quite large blades of brandtite in vugs of quartz crystals from Sterling Hill. This is a famous find of brandtite from these mines, which by far produced the best specimens of the mineral from the district.
