Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this rare tourmaline varietal from Mexico!!! These buergerite specimens came from a one time find from a locality known only
to the original miner!!! The miner brought his find to Tucson in the 1960's and subsequently died without ever revealing the location to another person!!!
As a result, this material is scarcely encountered on today's market!!! Usually these specimens are seen as single crystals, with matrix
specimens being rare!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of sharp, lustrous, undamaged crystals to nearly 1cm!!! The crystals
have deep brown color with a slight inner irredescence seen through the prism faces!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
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 20th!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
