TKR7 Molybdenite
Tae Hwa Mine, Neungam-ri, Angseong-myeon, Chungju, Chungcheongbukdo, South Korea
6.4x 4.0x 5.0 cm
$1800
A killer molybdenite from my collection (not from Tucson). This piece features a complete, thick book standing nicely on a quartz matrix.
It's obviously not as hefty as some of the Australian pieces, but for Korea it is spectacular. Actually, to find a crystal as sharp and well positioned from anywhere is quite unusual.
This piece dates to sometime between the 1960's and early 1980's.
