Description/Interesting Notes:
An amazing, old time example of corundum from Sweden!!! This specimen consists of a magnetite rich matrix that hosts several complex
crystals of yellowish translucent corundum!!! The corundum crystals exhibit a rare pseudo-octahedral habit!!! The larges crystal consists
of a complete and undamaged pseudo-octahedral crystal with marked luster and translucence that measures over 8mm!!! There are numerous other
crystals present throughout the specimen as well and, upon close examination there are some curious unidentified species present as well!!!
This specimen retains an old antique Schortmann's label as well!!! Simply a magnificent and unique example of corundum!!! 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 THIS WEEK, ALL ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 30th!!!
