Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this rare copper species from the Congo!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of lustrous, intensely
colored crystals of cornetite that are handsomely accented by bright green crystals of malachite!!! The cornetite crystals
exhibit the unique, characteristic intense blue color that the species is so prized for!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope,
one can see that the crystals are wonderfully well-well formed, with bright glassy luster, razor-sharp faces, and gemmy clarity!!!
This specimen retains an old personal collection label from Howard Belsky 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 19th!!!
