Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of papagoite and ajoite from the type locality in Arizona!!! Both papagoite and
ajoite are rarely encountered as well formed crystals - this specimen hosts a broad face that is
nearly covered with microcrystalline papagoite with areas of sharp, lustrous, eye visible crystals in association
with numerous sprays of turquoise colored ajoite crystals!!! This specimen is way better than the pics show!!! Upon
close inspection with a loupe or a scope there is a lot more crytsallization and sharp detail than the pics show!!!
Rare 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)!!!
