Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of covellite with pyrite from Butte!!! This specimen hosts a showy cluster of sharp, complete, free standing
crystals of covellite in association with curious, almost botryoidal pyrite!!! The covellite crystals are
present as sharp, complete hexagonal crystals with iridescent metallic luster that shows dramatic hues of
blue, magenta red, and purple!!! The pyrite has a brassy golden hue and ranges from botryoidal forms to
sparkly microcrystals (possibly marcasite?) as well!!! This specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! Simply an
outstanding example of covellite indeed!!! Sharp, undamaged, free standing crystals!!!
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 JUNE 27th!!!
