Description/Interesting Notes:
An extremely rare, old time example of afwillite from Kimberley!!! This is a particularly fine example of this
rare and highly sought after species from the original, type locality!!! This specimen consists of a
complex group of parallel, intergrown crystals of translucent whitish afwillite crystals!!! There is
one particularly thick crystal that is almost gemmy!!!
This specimen is completely terminated on one end - with
sharp, undamaged terminations!!! This is an INCREDIBLE example of the species in extremely fine condition!!!
Upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope, one can see that even the smallest crystals are terminated (when
looking down the c-axis the fineness of the crystals is particularly evident)!!! These specimens
are next to impossible to acquire!!! This is OLD material that was very scarce to begin with!!! Simply an amazing
specimen in ever regard!!! Don't miss out on this valuable rarity!!!
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 DECEMBER 13th!!!
