RM2946   Pyrite

Druse of pyrite crystals with faces of the cube and rhobododecahedron, striated faces, complex crystallography, which adds interest to the specimen. Back side is curiously flat. The luster is exceptional, not easy to take photos. The crystals are interpenetrated. A classic from the mine from which the bases for the FIFA football award "Ballon d'Or" are obtained...

Size: 6.5 x 5 x 3.2 cm.

RM2838   Bournonite, pyrite, sphalerite and quartz

Group of cyclically twinned bournonite crystals, with a metallic gray color, interpenetrating each other. They are disposed on a matrix of very brilliant octahedral pyrite, partially covered by complex sphalerite crystals.

Size: 6 x 4.5 x 3.8 cm.

RM2841   Pyrite, sphalerite and crandallite

Group of octahedral pyrite crystals, very brilliant and well defined, which are accompanied by complex crystals of sphalerite. On them we observed numerous white globular crandallite aggregates (analyzed by XRD). This combination of minerals is unusual in the deposit, with this phosphate being the first citation.

Size: 5.5 x 5.3 x 2.7 cm.

RM2828   Orpiment

Very aesthetic specimen that shows two generations of orpiment. One with an intense orange color, formed by numerous brilliant crystals. A second generation formed by crystals that cover the arsenopyrite-pyrite matrix, with a darker tone. A different sample from this classic Peruvian mine.

Size: 8 x 6.3 x 3.8 cm.

RM1458   Hutchinsonite with quartz and pyrite

Hutchinsonite is one of the few thallium-containing minerals producing good sized crystals. This specimen shows numerous groups of prismatic crystals of this rare sulphosalt, some are doubly terminated, sheaves or isolated, interpenetrated... With an exceptional luster and reddish reflections. They are disposed on a pyrite matrix with rosettes of small quartz crystals. An exceptional specimen.

Size: 8.0 x 5.0 x 2.1 cm.
Main crystal: 7 mm

RM1206   Seligmannite with sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite, quartz and Orpiment

Rich specimen formed by complex sphalerite and galena crystals partially covered by small but brilliant seligmannite associated with tetrahedrite, orpiment and quartz crystals. With pyrite and chalcopyrite. You can see under magnification very aesthetic orpiment-seligmannite aggregates. A very nice combination.

Size: 8.7 x 7.3 x 3.0 cm.

RM871   Orpiment with realgar

Brilliant specimen formed by globular aggregates of orpiment crystals, with good orange-yellow color. They are accompanied by brilliant acicular crystals of realgar with deep red color, transparent and defined. It is accompanied by barite crystals, pyrite and pyrrhotite. A different and quality specimen for this classic Peruvian mine.

Size: 8.8 x 5.8 x 5.2 cm.
