Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, matrix example of leiteite from Tsumeb!!! This rare species from Tsumeb is most typically encountered as small,
paper-thin cleavages with thick, sizeable crystals being rather scarce and matrix specimens exponentially more so!!! This
specimen hosts a very rich showing of leiteite throughout with the largest crystals being quite thick and translucent!!! If
you'll notice the side aspect of the specimen you'll see just how deep these thick and substantial crystals go into the specimen!!!
This is a significant and magnificent example of this Tsumeb rarity!!! The crystals have marked translucence and luster!!! Upon close inspection one can find
smaller leiteite crystals that are terminated and at least two unidentified species present as sharp submillimeter crystals!!!
This specimen had an older price tag of $1400!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable specimen!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
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 May 13th!!!
