Description

This piece is already quite nice for the wide array of tuffs of yellow Klebelsbergite needles scattered all around a piece of altered stibine.

But the main interest is a clean, supersharp, colourless and trasparent crystal of Peretaite, which is a very rare Sb bearing Sulphate, known only in this locality which is the type one.

Former E. Tealdi collection, with label. Erberto Tealdi was one of the goodfather of the italian mineralogy during the 70's-80's.

Don't miss this one if you have a sistematic collection!
