Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of malachite after azurite from Mexico!!! This specimen hosts a striking cluster of
finely bladed azurite crystals that have been almost completely replaced by lively green malachite - leaving striking
accents of bright royal blue behind!!! The crystals are sharp and lustrous - radiating out in an aesthetic fashion!!! This
specimen has unique, intense color and is very showy in person!!! The crystals are much more lustrous and sharply defined
than they appear in the pics!!! Absolutley gorgeous, old time material from this seldom referenced locale!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 4th!!!
