Description

Rare liveingite crystal elegantly cropping out of a dolomite vug. Well developed, with the classic striations, it shouws a medium luster. Associated, a number of honey-brown sphalerite crystals, plus some black sulfides/sulfosalts which I was not able to identify.
Given the yellow color of the marble, this is clearly an old Binntal specimen. Possibly dated back to the 70s, it comes from a Swiss collection we did recently acquire. Very rare!
