Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of purple apatite from Maine!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, complex
single crystal of gemmy purple apatite!!! The crystal has razor-sharp, glassy faces and gemmy clarity!!!
The crystal has lively, rich purple color that is
WAY better than the pics show!!! Half of the crystal exhibits characteristic hexagonal form while
the other half is somewhat truncated network of sharp crystal faces!!! Very lively and dynamic in person!!!
Classic material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection
of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior
to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late
1930's until the 1970's)!!!
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 OCTOBER 25th!!!
