| ⓘ Formula: Ag2Cu6Pb25Bi26S68 Description: From Rolf Luetcke: "Tony (excalibur minerals) wrote that he didn't add the species himself but someone did from one of his old sales lists. The specimen came from the Forrest Cureton collection he purchased. The label for the piece came originally from Sid Williams. The label said "near Benson" but even Tony knew about Sid's way of not giving locations. Tony said near can be up to 25 miles, still near geologically. He said the material was listed as found with Sulfides in Quartz, definitely not something from here." References: |
