Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare locality example of native iron from Japan!!! This specimen hosts numerous masses of
native iron distributed throughout a vein in matrix!!! I am told this material came from a very small find made by a researcher
and specimens are very rare indeed (all coming from the same single mass!)!!! The specimen is cut and polished on both sides and in person one
can see that the vein that contains the native iron exhibits some attractive green translucence as well!!! This specimen is WAY better than the
pictures show and, upon close inspection on can see a significant amount of native iron as well!!!
Examples of terrestrial
native iron are quite scarce from any locality, however this is very rare material from Japan!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be
seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
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 APRIL 28th!!!
