Antimony, Calcite

Locality: Lake George Antimony mine (Consolidated Durham mines; Resources Ltd. mine; Prince William mine; Brunswick mine), Lake George, Prince William Parish, York Co., New Brunswick, Canada

This is the best specimen from the best find of Native Antimony, and is in the collection of Rob W. M. Woodside, Ph.D., of White Rock, British Columbia, Canada. Antimony crystals from this one very limited find, made at the Consolidated Durham Mines and Resources Ltd. Mines, Lake George, York Co., New Brunswick, Canada, far exceed the quality of Antimony crystals found anywhere else. This specimen is the only piece from the find that possessed lustrous crystals, in this case esthetically surrounded by a nest of Calcite crystals. The specimen is about 25 cm across in the longest dimension. Attendees of the 2008 Seattle Mineral Market, particularly those who knew what they were looking at, were very fortunate in being able to view this specimen, and a number of others in Rob’s display.
