Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of cubanite from this seldom referenced locale!!! This specimen consists of a handsome cluster
of highly complex calcite crystals in association with sharp, brilliantly metallic, golden crystals of
cubanite!!! The cubanite crystals range in size to over .5cm!!! The main cubanite crystal exhibits the
sharply defined cyclic twinning that the species is so famous for!!! The calcite crystals have
marked translucence and luster and actually show highly complex features upon close inspection!!!
This is a particularly fine example of the species from this locality!!! This specimen is in fantastic
condition and displays magnificently in person!!!
This specimen is from the lifelong personal collection of Frank & Wendy Melanson!!!
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 MAY 9th!!!
