Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this rare species from Chile!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of rare penfieldite crystals in
association with intense blue boleite!!! It is difficult to appreciate from this pics, but this large specimen is LOADED
with fantastic penfieldite crystals!!! The penfieldite crystals exhibit a variety of habits with sharp, glassy faces and
clarity that ranges from translucent to gem!!! The penfieldite crystals range in size up to nearly 5mm!!! The boleite is present as
scattered areas of microcrystalline crusts and inclusions within the penfieldite!!! Simply a
magnificent example of this rare species!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope this specimen is simply amazing!!!
The penfieldite fluoresces yellow under
SW UV as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
