Description: Hubnerite, Quartz Locality: Black Pine Mine (Combination Mine; Black Pine Tailings; Black Pine Dump), Flint Creek Valley, John Long Mts, Philipsburg District (Flint Creek District), Granite County, Montana, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: small cabinet, 6.0 x 3.6 x 3.5 cm Hubnerite and Quartz A highly significant American locality specimen, MUCH MUCH better and simply bigger than any others from this locale that I have ever seen. The specimen is not only significant, but also meets any aesthetic display criteria you could throw at it, as the Dyck collection was based on display and aesthetics before anything else and this had to fit in or they wouldn't have kept it. The crystal is 2.7 cm across. It is surely an old specimen, though the history has now been lost. ex. Mel and Grace Dyck Collection
