Description

Molybdenite from Sardinia is rather rare, and it is among the best in Italy. This specimen is a rich aggregate of molibdenite blades of great metallic luster, with bent petals due to the lack of geodes in the quartz matrix. A small aggregate in the middle of the specimen shows a good hexagonal profile.

In good conditions, a great example of this Italian locality. Obtained in 2005 from a Sardinian collector.
