Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of gem augelite with lazulite from California!!! This specimen
consists of a sharp single crystal of gem augelite that hosts a lively blue crystal of gem lazulite
included within!!! These Champion Mine augelite specimens are quite scarce indeed!!! The crystal has sharp, glassy faces and
gemmy clarity!!! Upon close inspection, the bottom of the crystal is actually finely crystallized as well - being comprised of
complexly etched features!!! The lazulite crystal included within has lively blue color, gemmy clarity, and exhibits
a highly complex form!!! This amazing specimen retains an old label that was handwritten by famed mineralogist Fred Pough 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 MARCH 8th!!!
