Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic combination of species from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of thick, chunky hexagonal
crystals of mimetite that are richly covered by light blue green, rice-grain crystals of cuprian smithsonite in
association with rich green microcrystals of duftite!!! All three species are very well crystallized and the specimen is quite three-dimensional in person!!!
One half of the mimetite crystals are almost completely covered with smithsonite crystals with only their silhouette
visible underneath while the other half shows sharply formed hexagonal crystals of mimetite that host smithsonite and duftite crystals
scattered across their surfaces!!! The specimen is in fantastic condition and quite showy in person!!!
Old material!!! 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 7th!!!
