From the infamous Quiruvilca Mine in Peru in the Andes Mountains. The mine started production in 1907 and is one of the oldest and historic in Peru. This particular specimen was collected in the 1970's and will include original label. Two of the quartz crystals forming a cross, on a matrix of grey sphalerite with iron pyrite. This is a very aesthetic piece for a collector and truly one of a kind.
