Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of amblygonite var. hebronite from the varietal type locality in Maine!!! Hebronite is a rare, low sodium varietal of
amblygonite!!! This specimen consists of an albite matrix that hosts a significant
showing of amblygonite var. hebronite in association with some dark greenish blue tourmaline!!! The amblygonite var. hebronite is present as
lustrous, platy crystals with slight translucence and tan color!!! This specimen is from the collection of Dr. A.L. Sherk and retains an
old handwritten label as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd!!!
