Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of monazite from Switzerland!!! This specimen hosts six individual crystals of monazite on matrix in association with numerous
pyrite crystals and a few scattered quartz points!!! The monazite crystals are razor-sharp, glassy, gemmy, and range in size up to 1mm!!! While the crystals
are small, they are eye visible and of superb quality!!! The pyrite crystals are present as sharp, cubic crystals with interpenetrant twins and appear to be
partially altered to limonite in a most handsome fashion!!! This specimen is simply incredible upon close inspection!!! This specimen
retains an old label from Howard Belsky as well!!!
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!!!
