FS08 Alabandite, Fluorite, Rhodochrosite, 

Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Prov., Lima Dept., Peru

7.8x 5.9x 3.2 cm

$1300

I have received several e-mails requesting additional alabandite specimens, so I got in touch with some people in Peru to see what was available. Unfortunately there are no new specimens, but one of my good friends was gracious enough to let me select pieces from his personal stash, which he had cherry picked and held back.  I selected the best of those, and am offering them here.

This is the best and most pronounced of only a few alabandite specimens with a fluorite association that I am aware of.  Please not that there are a couple cleaves to the fluorite.

 This is also the best fluorite specimen that I have seen from Uchucchacua.  While it is nothing compared to the fluories from Huanzala, I would argue that it is an important specimen for Uchucchacua, a locality well known among collectors for its rhodochrosite, silver, and silver sulfosalts.
