Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of this rare species from the type locale in Norway!!! This specimen hosts a large, 4cm crystal of
hellandite prominently perched on matrix!!! The crystal has some very sharply defined, complexly modified
faces with marked luster, combined with areas that appear to show significant alteration!!! This locality was abandoned
in the 1930's and these original type locale hellandite specimens date to the early 1900's!!! Simply a fantastic
example of this species!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collections
of Gunnar Bjareby(1899-1967) and 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!!!
