Summary

Description
English: Jamesonite
Locality: Concepción del Oro, Municipio de Concepción del Oro, Zacatecas, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: cabinet, 14.3 x 9.6 x 8.3 cm
Jamesonite
This is a major example of the species from a small find that few people are aware of, I have found. I am told it was a small pocket in the mid-1980s, and I have seen only a handful turn up as old collections recycle. These are superior to other Mexican jamesonite specimens, and most worldwide jamesonite for that matter as well, for their robust crystals and bright metallic lustre. In fact, I would venture to say these are the world's best jamesonites, for my own taste. This piece has a rich smothering of splendent, metallic-gray crystals of jamesonite to 4.0 cm across in on druse of brassy yellow pyrite. There is also a gray rhombohedron of calcite perched on top, measuring 3 cm across. This specimen was on loaned exhibit in the University of Arizona Museum for over a decade until my purchase of this collection in 2008. Ex. Dr. Miguel Romero Collection.
