Description/Interesting Notes:
An amazing example of kinoite included quartz from Michigan!!! This specimen hosts a cluster of sharp,
gemmy quartz crystals to 4mm that host numerous, sharply
defined, intense royal blue crystals of kinoite crystals included within!!! Paired with these kinoite-included quartz crystals are numerous
brilliant crystals of green epidote!!! These kinoite included quartz specimens from Michigan
are quite rare indeed, and this is a magnificent example!!! The individual crystals of kinoite within the quartz are incredible
upon close inspection with a loupe or scope!!! Usually these specimens are limited to micros, however this is a significantly sized
specimen with prominent crystals and rich, eye-visible inclustions!!! Upon close inspection, in addition
to the dense area of kinoite-included quartz crystals there are
numerous other quartz crystals scattered throughout the specimen that host kinoite inclusions as well!!! This specimen came out of an old
Michigan collection and its handwritten label notes its rarity!!!
The pics don't even come close to doing 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 9th!!!
