Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time example of phenakite from Brazil!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, highly complex crystal of phenakite!!!
The crystal has razor-sharp faces with bright glassy luster and gorgeous gemmy clarity!!! The crystal is complete and
in magnificent condition all around!!! There are smaller crystals in association that stand the crystal upright as well!!!
This specimen is WAY better than the pics show - it is a really fine crystal that is quite dynamic and showy in person!!!
Simply a fantastic, old time example of this rare gem species!!!
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)!!!
