Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of catapleiite from Norway!!! This specimen hosts a broad blate of catapleite crystals in association
with darkly colored aegirine, astrophyllite, and nepheline!!! The catapleiite crystals have reddish brown color and show
some characteristic hexagonal features as well!!! In addition to the broad plate of crystals on the front there is
an area of catapleiite on the reverse as well!!! Rare, old time material!!! This specimen retains
an old label from the Freiberg Academy as well!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 23rd!!!
