Collection

Robert Lavinsky

Description

A very large, super-bright crystal of Molybdenite from old finds in Australia. The hexagonal form of the crystal is quite clear here, which is rather rare, especially for such a large crystal. Molybdenite forms in super-thin sheets due to its atomic structure, with the atoms lining up on a single plane.

Locality

Allies Mine, Deepwater, Gough Co., New South Wales, Australia

Dimensions

8.8 x 5.1 x 1.7 cm.
