Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely magnificent example of cubanite from Canada!!! This extraordinary specimen is loaded with large, sharp, undamaged crystals of cubanite in association with
calcite crystals on matrix!!! This specimen hosts a large, prominent sixling twin that measures an impressive 2cm across!!! In addition to this crystal there are numerous other
large and significant crystals in close association!!! It is difficult to capture in the photographs, but in person, many different crystals
catch the light simultaneously and the effect is quite dramatic!!! The broad edges of several large cubanite crystals are visible
on the face of the specimen as well and they have sharp, iridescent golden faces peppered with tiny calcite crystals!!! The cubanite crystals are all undamaged and pristine!!!
The large calcite crystal is undamaged as well - consisting of a complexly crystalline form with brilliant, glassy faces!!! This is
truly an extraordinary example of the species!!! This specimen came from the personal collection of Jack Zektzer (Zektzerite) and retains
his catalogue number on the reverse as well!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable beauty!!! This
specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!!
The pics don't even come close to doing 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 9th!!!
