Montroydite
Perry Pit, west side, California hill, Mariposa Mine, California Hill, Terlingua Mercury District, Brewster County, Texas, USA
1.8 cm long.
This tiny crystal is 1.8 cm long. Montroydite is perfectly sectile normal to the c-axis. It is so flexible that the crystals can be bent, and even tied into knots. There are old texts that illustrate this. Had to throw in a rarity. I have a suite of the oxychlorides of mercury, but they are very difficult to photograph, and to be truthful, kind of boring unless you are a species collector. Miguel Romero got my best Gianellaite, the finest in the world. Wonder where that specimen wound up?. (Author: Ed Huskinson)
