Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of covellite with chalcopyrite from Missouri!!! Covellite is very rare from this locality!!! This
specimen consists of a mass of brilliant, golden chalcopyrite with numerous cavities and vugs that host numerous
brilliant, iridescent blue, bladed crystals of covellite!!! Although the crystals are small, they are quite
brilliant and impressive for their size and are simply fantastic for the locality!!! This specimen
retains an old label from David New that mentions their rarity as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer
and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
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 NOVEMBER 29th!!!
