Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of fluorite and calcite from this seldom referenced locality!!! This specimen retains an old
label from Pierre Destinez that is dated 1889!!! This old time beauty consists of a handsome cluster of
complex calcite crystals that hosts a razor-sharp cubic crystal of lively golden yellow fluorite!!! The
fluorite crystal is lustrous, gem clear, and pristine!!! In addition to the main fluorite crystal, there
are several other much smaller crystals scattered about as well!!! The calcite crystals
are sharply formed with marked clarity and glassy luster!!! Despite some
minor damage, the specimen is in fantastic condition and displays magnificently in person (especially given its age)!!!
Simply a gorgeous old timer from a relatively rare locale!!! This specimen retains an old handscripted label from the collection of Pierre
Destinez that is dated 1889!!! 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 27th!!!
