Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time example of covellite from Colorado!!! This specimen hosts numerous brilliantly metallic, iridescent purple-blue crystals
of covellite set in hard matrix!!! This specimen hosts numerous complete, razor sharp, hexagonal crystals of covellite in prominent display!!!
Covellite is rarely seen in complete, sharp crystals!!! The purple-blue iridescence is quite striking indeed!!! Upon
close examination, one can see pronounced hexagonal striations on the
crystal faces!!!! This specimen retains an old label from Richard V. Gaines 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 APRIL 28th!!!
