Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, gem crystal of phenakite from this relatively new find in Nigeria!!! While it is a fantastic example of phenakite in and of itself, this specimen actually
hosts two crystals of cassiterite included within!!! This specimen consists of a complete,
floater crystal of phenakite that hosts two included crystals of cassiterite within!!!
This specimen has highly complex, etched faces with brilliant, glassy luster and flawless
gem clarity!!! The cassiterite crystals range in size to approximately 3.5mm and are quite apparent in person!!!
It was quite difficult to capture in the photos, however this specimen is simply dazzling in person!!! The
specimen is complete all around and displays magnificently!!!
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 JULY 29th!!!
