This is one of the first specimens from this find that I sold. I recently recovered it and, as the photo suggests, the quality is very high. Excellent color, good crystal size, and good crystal definition. Many of the crystals are doubly terminated and have the faces of the hexagonal prism and the pinacoid. A real treat. This specimen was on the cover of the ‘Bocamina’ magazine, issue 18, 2006, which is devoted to the San Andrés Mine.
