Description

Extremely rare tellurium mineral from Moctezuma: eztlite !. The mineral is almost always found as rounded deep red crystals. However, what is exceptional on this specimen, in addition to the rounded crystals, is the existence of two very well formed pyramidal crystals (shown in the second and fourth photos), which is the most sought after habit for crystals of this mineral. Eztlite has only been found in two localities worldwide !
