6027 Gratonite, Excelsior Mine, Cerro de Pasco, Peru

Vintage micromount: A superb 4x3mm display face specimen of Gratonite from its type locality, Cerro do Pasco, Peru. It was once a duplicate in the collection (later bequeathed the Smithsonian) of the late Neal Yedlin. In 1975, the late Micromount Hall of Fame member Marcelle Weber acquired it as noted on the bottom of the antique carboard micromount display case in which it was mounted and hand labeled by Yedlin.
