AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hairy, iridescent BOULANGERITE on RHODOCHROSITE and GALENA crystals on matrix — natural lead and antimony sulfide, remarkable for its absolutely unique mode of crystallization.
This specimen of boulangerite, selected from a collection of entirely natural minerals of museum quality, exhibits remarkable crystal development. The fine, fibrous crystals, often described as 'hairy,' are perfectly individualised and display beautiful natural iridescence, signs of slow and stable growth in favorable geological conditions.
In the mineral market, boulangerite of this quality is becoming particularly sought after. Well-crystallized, aesthetic pieces of good size are rare, making them prized specimens among both demanding collectors and enthusiasts of systematic mineralogy.
The value of this sample is based on several key criteria: rarity, provenance, dimensions, and crystalline quality. The excellent formation of the crystals, combined with their iridescent reflections, gives this specimen a rare balance between scientific interest and strong visual impact.
