Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of this sought after species from the original, type locality!!! This
specimen hosts numerous rosettes of bright yellow legrandite in addition to a significant cluster of intergrown
crystals perched on a vuggy matrix lined with dark, amber colored smithsonite crystals!!! This is
classic, old time material from the type locality that predates the finds at Ojuela!!! These old,
Flor de Pena specimens are much more scarce by comparison!!! Classic material!!!
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!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was
originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
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 NOVEMBER 29th!!!
