Crystallized Calomel on Matrix
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
A superb rarity in unusually large and rich form - this is a very rare crystallized example from Texas of Calomel on matrix. This specimen probably should be trimmed in half to maximize value. Ex. Edgar Bailey collection. Edgar Bailey was a noted mineralogist and field collector of Terlingua minerals, and the species Edgarbaileyite is named after him in honor. This is from his collection and was self-collected by him, part of a suite of such pieces. (not from Feinglos coll.)
