Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of eosphorite on quartz from Brazil!!! This specimen hosts a fantastic spray of sharply terminated, rootbeer colored eosphorite crystals aesthetically
perched on a quartz matrix!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back and forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping with most of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info on locale, source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However, the most interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the specimen on the reverse side as well!!! I will be listing many exciting specimens from this collection, in addition to the usual and far ranging array of specimens, in the upcoming weeks - so don't miss out!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
