| Description |
Another exceptional specimen form the "ends of the earth" in Antarctica. We have been fortunate enough to source several fine pieces from the German expeditions to the Everett range in 1979-1982. This is one of those pieces that is both a rare and unusual mineral type, and also from a very difficult to obtain locality. A truly special part of the collection. Label translates to: yellow crusts with little ferrimolybdanite on quartz from veins in granite |
