The famous Broken Hill deposits at Yancowinna Co. in New South Wales, Australia have produced incredibly rich specimens of the extremely rare silver iodide mineral Iodargyrite. Thi s fine very large miniature to very small cabinet-sized specimen displays significant areas of white to pale cream coloured waxy Iodargyrite on a typical gossany matrix. Along the main display edge elongated Iodargyrite crystals to 5 mm in length and crystallized groupings to 1 x 1 cm in area sit upon an unidentified black coating (probably Goethite or Coronadite). Around one side of the specimen a large area of flattened Iodargyrite coats the surface, but the areas on the main display face are in very good condition for such a soft mineral species. A lovely rich example of this rare species. Show more
