Description

This species was in my youth the most sought after mineral in Trepca and it was especially in the seventies, eighties and ninties of the last centuries when it was nearly impossible to purchase such items. Of course the local miners asked for "astronomical prices". And even nowadays there are rare like in the older times. Of course there are better ones from Bolivia, but this is incomparable.
