Minerals Auction (What I Want in My Rock Collection)

A rich, well-placed veinlet of rare, bright, native tellurium microcrystals in quartz matrix from a very uncommon Japanese locale. Older material. This must have been a significant find, as even the vein is known (Hinokizawa Vein). Almost never offered..
