Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic combination of native gold with boleite, pseudoboleite, and atacamite from Chile!!! This specimen hosts a
striking combination of bright blue "percylite" which is a mixture of boleite and pseudoboleite, along with brilliant
buttery yellow native gold, and lively green atacamite!!! Upon close inspection one can see that the
boleite-pseudoboleite and atacamite both have significant crystalline features scattered about!!! The native gold
is quite bright and there is more present than it appears in the pics as there are numerous tiny areas that can only
be seen upon close study!!! It should be noted that the atacamite might possibly be one of the rarer copper chlorides as well!!!
Simply a fantastic combination of species!!!
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 28th!!!
