Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of bogdanovite from Bisbee!!! Bogdanovite is
a very rare alloy-like combination of gold, tellurium, lead, copper and iron found as
micro-grains intimately associated with pyrite from Bisbee!!! This specimen hosts numerous areas of bogdanovite-rich
pyrite in a matrix of calcite and quartz!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope, one can see dense areas of
micro-inclusions in the areas immediately surrounding some of the pyrite crystals and contacts!!! Very rare material!!!
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!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 31st!!!
