Description/Interesting Notes:
An amazing example of torbernite with epitaxial autunite from Portugal!!! This specimen has absolutely electric, intense fluorescent
yellow green color!!! This specmimen is loaded with sharp, bladed crystals that range in size up to 4.5mm!!! This specimen
owes its unique color to the fact that the crystals are actually two-different colors!!! The crystals consist of
green, square-shaped torbernite crystals that have broad outer zones of intense yellow autunite!!! These are actually
torbernite crystals that have subsequently been overgrown with epitaxial autunite!!! Upon close inspection the
crystals are absolutely amazing - sharp, modified, square-shaped blades with translucent clarity and sharply defined
zones of intense yellow and green color!!! Very unique rare 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 13th!!!
