Description

An nice solid specimen of native bismuth from this locality. Very heavy for it's size, it exhibits crystal growth patterns on a large flat face on the display side and small incomplete crystals intermixed with quartz on the reverse.

These specimens are not often seen on the market and this is a very good piece for the species and locality.
