Description: I'm pleased to offer this excellent specimen of Zinkenite with Pyrite and Quartz from the Damon and Pythias mine, Grotto, King County, Washington. The specimen measures 4.95 x 2.84 x 2.55 inches or 12.57 x 7.21 x 6.46cm and shows a polished face and a classy attached label. This is a rich and heavy specimen from this noted polymetallic mine located a bit more than 5 miles away from the very small town of Grotto. The mine was discovered circa 1895 and produced mostly gold, lead and silver. I've had very many specimens from here in the past as I bought an entire flat of specimens from David and Colleen Shannon about 15 years ago and bought a few from my late friend Bart Cannon (1950-2019) of Seattle, Washington. A friend of mine collected this piece and put a good polish on it--it really enhances the textures seen in the specimen. The mine is noted for its arsenopyrite, sphalerite and zinkenite specimens--these are sometimes associated with small quartz crystals. No crystals here--just a large and rich piece of classic Damon ore! Please check my feedback and my other eBay items. All specimens are carefully wrapped, come with complete and accurate labels and are quickly shipped. As always, your complete satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed and I even offer FREE return shipping on any item that fails to satisfy for any reason---you can't go wrong. I'm reminded of the firm pledge printed on the old Foote Mineral Company mineral catalogs from more than a century ago, "Quality of specimens is assured as we permit return of specimens at our expense." Thanks for looking! I buy collections! Please contact me if you have a collection for sale or know of one that is available. I will pay a finder's fee to anyone that can point me to an eventual purchase!
