Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of native arsenic from Canada!!! Examples of crystalline arsenic quite scarce indeed!!! This specimen
hosts a rich showing of botryoidal native arsenic that is coated with numerous, sharply formed crystals
of native arsenic!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that the crystals are very well formed, with sharp detail and
areas of slightly metallic luster!!! There are also a few small, sharp and lustrous calcite crystals present as well!!! Simply
a magnificent example of the species for the locale!!! This specimen is from the University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum and
retains an old label from the collection of H.C. Van Tassel 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 12th!!!
