Description/Interesting Notes:
An outstading example of these rare species from the Francon Quarry!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of sharply crystallized cryolite and welogonite crystals!!! I must start by saying
that this specimen is WAY better than the pictures show!!! The high quality of the crystals actually made them quite difficult to capture in the photos!!! The welogonite crystals are present as
sharp, translucent, terminated crystals to over 1.1cm!!! The cryolite crystals are present as razor-sharp crystals with glassy faces and
water-clear GEM clarity that range from perfectly colorless to an intense sulfur-yellow!!! The cryolite crystals have faces ranging in size to 2mm!!! This specimen
is simply amazing in person, and upon close inspection hosts some of the finest examples I have seen of the species for their size!!! This specimen retains
an old label from Bill Pinch that has notation from him on the reverse that says, "an unusually fine example of both minerals"!!! 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 24th!!!
