Description/Interesting Notes:
A killer, old time example of magnetite from this historic locality!!! This
specimen hosts numerous sharp, striated dodecahedral crystals of magnetite on a serpentine marix!!! This specimen is
WAY better than the pics show - the magnetite crystals are in magnificent condition and much more detailed than
the pics show!!! The serpentine matrix appears to be partially altered in areas as well!!! Simply a magnificent
example of the species for the locality!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition all around and displays gorgeously
in person!!!
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 JANUARY 3rd!!!
