Outstanding metallic hexagonal crystals of the extremely rare Mo-Se mineral drysdallite on a matrix of unidentified uranium minerals from the type locality in Zambia.

Sharp hexagonal crystals of drysdallite like the one on photo 1 are very rarely seen on the mineral market. Don't miss the opportunity to get this mineral species in sharp crystals !

Only two known localities worlwide.

Drysdallite is the Se-analogue of molybdenite, but much rarer.
