Description
Cassiterite on QuartzThe Viloco Mine (sometimes called Araca) for many years has stood as one of the top Cassiterite localities in the world. This mine is still active today and bears the unique distinction of producing the only GEM quality (facet grade) Cassiterites from any mine in Bolivia. Considering the millions of tons of tin ore that Bolivia has yielded, the fact that only one mine ever produced transparent Cassiterite is remarkable. This piece features classic,
octahedral metallic Pyrite matrix
emerald green color
The largest crystal on this specimen is one of the biggest Augelites that I have seen from Bolivia
The paleodirect website states that: " copal contains inclusions of modern living life-forms whereas true fossil amber contains inclusions mostly of EXTINCT prehistoric life
GEM QUALITY
blocky Amazonite crystals with a light blue-green color
translucent greenish-brown colored Siderite crystals and minor grey crystals of the rare sulfide
In the early 1980's
Specimen # BOL711B164
The underside is not complete where it was removed from the pocket wall
and we would hope to see more of these great Pyrites along with other noteworthy minerals from Climax to make their way back on the market
rather lustrous
