Description/Interesting Notes:
A gorgeous example of manganotantalite from Mozambique!!! This specimen consists of a gemmy crystal of deep red
manganotantalite in association with a small amount of matrix!!! The manganotantalite crystal is twinned and one can
see a well defined twin plane in person!!! The manganotantalite exhibits marked clarity with intense, deep red color!!! There
is a lot of dynamic, electric red flash within!!! This specimen is from the personal collection of Ernie Schlicter and
retains his original, detailed notecard and label!!! Simply gorgeous in person!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 3rd!!!
