Huebnerite and Quartz

This excellent miniature is very likely from the finds in the Huallapon Mine in the late 1970’s. These older pieces were never very common and they do display the bright red color where the edges are thinner.    Completely terminated on the top (every crystal).  Rather exceptional. Ex Jim and Paula Wilson.

Locality: Pasto Bueno, Ancash Department, Peru

Composition: manganese tungstate
