Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this rare species from Tiger!!! This specimen comes from the famed pocket that produced some of the finest
examples of the species known!!! This specimen hosts fine, dark green crystals of fornacite on matrix in association with a small amount of
wulfenite and colorless fluorite!!! This specimen is loaded with sharp, undamaged fornacite crystals that measure up to an impressive 4.5mm!!!
This specimen is way better than the pictures show and there is a lot more to see upon close inspection with a loupe or scope!!!
This is a fantastic example of the species with large, sharply formed crystals!!! This specimen retains an old label from the collection
of H.C. Van Tassel and has an affixed University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum label as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
