Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of this rare "holy grail" mineral species from Cornwall!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of intensely colored
liroconite crystals in association with a small amount of pharmacosiderite on matrix!!! The liroconite crystals have intense, blue green color that is unlike
anything else in the mineral kingdom!!! This specimen is loaded with sharp, lustrous liroconite crystals!!! The crystals have
choice blue color with glassy luster and marked translucence!!! Upon close inspection one can see some tiny, cubic crystals of
pharmacosiderite in association as well!!! This specimen came from the collection of Neal Yedlin and retains an
old acrylic container with a handwritten label as well!!! These famed specimens date to the mid 1800's and are very scarce, and highly sought
after, today!!!
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!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 22nd!!!
