An outstanding specimen. The most original Hessite I have ever seen. It looks like a complex latticework. This extremely rare silver telluride was found in the past just in collections of specimens from the Botés Mine. But that said, it is usually not that nice. However the delicate structure of this specimen creates something perfect which really is, due its beauty, top of the scale for this species. Minor crystallized Quartz is also present on the specimen as you can see on the detailed image.
Botés Mountains, Botés, Transilvania Romania (±1900)
Specimen size: 4.8 × 1.5 × 0.7 cm = 1.89” × 0.59” × 0.28”
