Native Lead after Plant Roots Tubac, Santa Cruz Co., Arizona 1.3cm x .6cm x .3cm Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A very rare example of native lead replacing plant roots from Arizona!!! This specimen came from a small find of this very unique and unusual material made several decades ago!!! This material is totally natural and consists of a fine, tangled mass of intertwined plant roots that have been completely replaced by native lead!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope, it appears there are some minor crusts of secondary lead alteration species present as well!!! This material originally came from Forrest Cureton and retains an old Cureton label as well!!! Rare and peculiar material indeed!!! These famed specimens are extremely scarce (although I had read about them before, this was the first time I have ever seen one) so don't miss out!!! 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!!! 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!!!
