Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificently rich and showy old time example of gummite from New Hampshire!!! This specimen consists of a dense, solid mass of
colorful gummite with uraninite and cyrtolite zircon!!! Gummite is a combination of several uranium bearing species such as
boltwoodite, clarkeite, curite, kasolite, soddyite, uraninite, and uranophane!!! The gummite shows rich, intense hues of bright yellows and
vivid oranges in aesthetic combination with jet-black uraninite!!! There are also numerous dark brownish crystals of cyrtolite zircon in association as well - many of
which are quite sharp and well-formed!!! The pictures don't even come close to doing this rich specimen justice!!! This specimen is surprisingly heavy for it size!!!
This specimen retains an old label from the Knoll collection as well!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!

WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 29th!!!
