Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of argentojarosite and carminite from Mexico!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that host a rich
showing of intense red crystals of carminite and yellowish-ochre crusts and microcrystals of argentojarosite!!! The carminite crytals
are lustrous, gemmy, and show intense crimson red color!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see that
the carminite crystals have some complex features but are very well formed and quite fine indeed!!! There is a rich showing of
yellowish argentojarosite intergrown with the carminite - present as crusts and microcrystals!!! This specimen is
simply incredible when viewed with a loupe or scope!!!
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!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
