Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of covellite from this classic Colorado locale!!! This specimen consists of numerous large, intersecting
blades of highly iridescent covellite!!! The covellite crystals are thick and showy with intense blue to purplish blue iridescent metallic
luster!!! In person one can see areas of sharp crystalline detail in areas as well!!! This specimen
is from the Michigan College of Mines (A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum) and retains its original, antique, glass-lined specimen box from the
museum in addition to an old Ward's label as well!!! Classic old time 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!!!
