Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time example of nickelskutterudite var. chloanthite from this classic German locale!!! This specimen hosts
an impressive showing of sharp, brilliantly metallic crystals of nickelskutterudite var. chloanthite in association with sparkling
crystals of safflorite, translucent tan siderite crystals, and a dusting of pink erythrite on a matrix of intergrown barite blades and
massive siderite!!! The nickelskutterudite var. chloanthite crystals exhibit sharp cubic forms with octahedral modifications and
range in size to over 7mm!!! The crystals are much more significant and prominent than the pictures show!!! In person this specimen
is quite showy and lively all around!!! Classic material!!!
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 JANUARY 19th!!!
