Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of caledonite and leadhillite from the type locale for both - Leadhills, Scotland!!! This specimen hosts
a colorful showing of lively blue caledonite crystals atop a mass of leadhillite crystals intergrown with some cerussite!!! The
matrix appears to host some altered galena as well!!! The caledonite crystals are present as small, intense
blue crystals scattered atop, and intergrown with, the leadhillite and cerussite!!! The leadhillite
is present as complex forms, intergrown with cerussite and matrix, that exhibit characteristic
cleavage faces and broad, lustrous faces!!! Old 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 18th!!!
