Description

One of the key rarities of the current auctions: löllingite from Cruvin (Crovino) Mine! 

A drusy of rosette-like aggregates forming a metallic drusy partly epimorphing some crude creamy dolomite crystals. Good quality for the löllingite, with a good coverage on one side of the specimen. 

Well crystallized Alpine löllingite is very rare in the first place. In Italy, the best specimens came from this Piedmont locality, two small mine adits. Only a handful of specimens were recovered across the years, and the locality is practically defunct. This specimen is a very good representation of what the mine once provided.

In my mineral collection since 2017, this is a much older specimen.
