Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of this rare and highly prized tourmaline species known for its
incredible, multi-color zoning!!! This specimen consists of a thick partial crystal section of
liddicoatite that exhibits a particularly handsome pattern of colors with fine concentric banding!!!
While sometimes these specimens can have somewhat drab colors, this specimen shows an fantastic combination of
greens and pinks with highlights of indigo and amber!!! The concentric banding
is patricularly fine and attractive as well!!! This is valuable material and if it was cut could yield some
very incredible specimens!!! Rare old time 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 and retains its original personal collection label as well!!! 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!!!
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 FEBRUARY 21st!!!
