This specimen is from the original find and the original collector as reported to me on the label from the previous owner (see below - I trust his sourcing on that information). It is a textbook nodule of crystallized gerstleyite in matrix from this boron open pit mine, collected by a man named Vincent Morgan in 1954. From him, it was sold to a friend who is a very well known collector of rare sulfides and sulfosalts, now a professor of minalogy himself, Frank Keutsch. He told me this is one of a few he obtained long ago. Certainly, this is a good one, and is the best I know of around the market - well, its the ONLY one I know of on the market since I first heard of it a decade ago, put it that way.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>","Robert M.
