Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific, old time example of native bismuth from this historic Canadian locality!!! This specimen hosts numerous areas of native
bismuth scattered throughout and across the matrix!!! The native bismuth is present as complex networks of crystalline bismuth on various surfaces
across the matrix!!! What is most striking about this old time specimen however, is the intense and showy rainbow iridescence of the
native bismuth!!! The complex, broad networks of brilliantly metallic native bismuth exhibit an amazing, intense rainbow colored iridescence in person!!! The
pics don't even come close to capturing just how dynamic it is in person!!! This specimen retains old labels from the collection of J. Cilen and
Bob Jenkins 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 MAY 19th!!!
