Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of covellite from this classic Italian locality!!! This specimen consists of a showy cluster of thick, bladed
covellite crystals in aesthetic association with golden pyrite crystals!!! The covellite crystals have intense, brilliant blue and
purple metallic iridescence!!! There are some sharply defined crystalline features and striated faces present!!! The pyrite crystals are
present as sharp, complex cubo-octahedral crystals with bright metallic luster!!! This is classic, old time material that dates prior to WWII!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 11th!!!
