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 decades ago!!! This material is totally natural
and consists of a slightly curled group of 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!!! 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!!! This specimen is particularly thick and sturdy compared to the other pieces it was grouped with!!!
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!!!
