This tungsten vein deposit in the southern part of Hunan grasped collector’s attention. During the last years for a sequence of outstanding mineralogical outcomes. Among these we have some beautiful sulphide and sulphosalt occurrence, Stannite, Arsenopyrite, Bournonite, Bismutinite, Jamesonite, Boulangerite, Molybdenite etc. The mine is producing by far the best worldwide Stannite in beautiful xls that can reach also -5 cm in size. Often xls are rounded to form globular aggregates, but occasionally may occur with sharp crystal faces . The typical paragenesis is with Arsenopyrite and Quartz. The mine also produces currently some of the best Arsenopyrite that has never been seen in beautiful association with Quartz and Stannite. The samples we present in this page have carefully selected and are reasonably priced.
