Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of caledonite from England!!! This specimen hosts a fantastic grouping of intensely colored crystals of caledonite perched in a
protective vug in matrix!!! This specimen came to us labelled as being from "Wheal Mary Jane, Cornwall, England" - however, I have never
seen a caledonite
from Cornwall before (nor have I heard of a "Wheal Mary Jane"... Mary, yes. Jane, yes. Mary Jane, no.)!!!
I have only seen English caledonite specimens from Roughton Gill that look similar to this!!! However, I am no expert on Cornwall and I know I have seen
many surprising things from there before!!! In any case, this is a terrific example of caledonite indeed!!! 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 JUNE 24th!!!
