This Specimen From A Special Collection:
(J.F. Barker in 1970)
A classic and highly collectible specimen featuring Molybdenite with Chalcopyrite from Lamb Mine, British Columbia, showcasing a striking metallic mineral association.
The silvery, reflective molybdenite displays its characteristic layered, almost greasy metallic luster, beautifully contrasted by the warm golden tones of chalcopyrite. This natural pairing creates a visually rich composition with both texture and color interplay.
Lamb Mine is a respected locality known for producing fine sulfide mineral specimens, and pieces from this source are appreciated for their quality and geological significance. The combination of these two minerals highlights the diversity of metallic crystal formation in hydrothermal environments.
This specimen also carries added provenance, originating from a special collection (J.F. Barker, 1970), enhancing its historical and collector value.
A distinguished collector’s piece combining classic locality, mineral contrast, and notable provenance.
