Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, 19th century example of analcime from the type locality in Italy!!! This specimen hosts a broad face that is richly covered with
razor-sharp, glassy, gemmy crystals of analcime!!! The crystals are of fantastic quality and the specimen is quite sparkly and handsome in person!!! There are also a
few scattered crystals of minor thomsonite-ca and/or aragonite present as well!!! This is old, 19th century material and retains an old
Northwestern University Mineral Collection label and catalogue number as well!!! Classic material!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 8th!!!
