Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this rare species from Nevada!!! This specimen hosts a gorgeous showing of razor-sharp, brilliantly
lustrous, deep red crystals of galkhaite prominently perched on matrix!!! The galkhaite crystals are gemmy and
have intense, deep red color!!! There are significantly sized single crystals and sharp groups of interpenetrant crystals to nearly 3mm and a contiguous group of
crystals to nearly 7mm!!! Galkhaite is a very rare cesium thallium mercury sulfosalt and specimens are very difficult to obtain!!!
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 NOVEMBER 29th!!!
