Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of covellite from this famed locale!!! This specimen hosts numerous intensely iridescent metallic
crystals of covellite in association with pale yellow, gemmy sphalerite and tiny quartz crystals!!! The covellite
crystals exhibit characteristic, bladed hexagonal forms with striking metallic luster and lively purple, blue, and magenta
iridescence!!! There is a complex area of sphalerite just in front of the main covellite crystals that has an unusual
pale greenish yellow color and gemmy clarity!!! Classic 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 FEBRUARY 21st!!!
