Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of true, natural purple opal from Mexico!!! This specimen consists of a large mass of rare purple opal that
has been cut and polished on one side!!! The opal shows marked translucent in areas and also has zones of yellow and white present as well!!!
This is very unusual and attractive old time material!!! In recent years there was some "created" purple opals that made their way onto the market, however
this is the real, natural, authentic purple opal!!! Rare old time material!!!
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 JANUARY 17th!!!
