Description: Tellurite Locality: Moctezuma Mine (Bambolla Mine), Moctezuma, Municipio de Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 3.3 x 2.0 x 1.3 cm. A single, beautifully formed, terminated, brightly colored tellurite crystal perched in a protected vug, lined with drusy quartz. The crystal is approx 5-6mm long. One of the surprises of 2007 for rarities was the reworking of the famous old Bambolla mine in the Moctezuma tellurium complex for specimens, by several European-led collecting teams. Many specimens were then sold at Munich 2008 and this year in Tucson.
