Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of phosgenite from this classic locality!!! This specimen consists of a massive galena matrix that hosts an amazing, 3cm crystal of
GEM phosgenite!!! The phosgenite crystal has brilliantly glassy luster and razor-sharp faces!!! The crystal has a gorgeous amber color and wonderfully gemmy clarity!!! In fact, this specimen
could actually yeild a very significant faceted gemstone if so desired!!! Phosgenite specimens with such superb clarity and brilliant luster are exceptionally
rare indeed!!! This is an old specimen and, although it has some minor damage, it is an exceptional specimen regardless and
still displays magnificently as you can see!!! The dispersion and play of light within the crystal makes this specimen look like a brilliant light show even from across the room!!! This
specimen spent some time in our display cabinet because it was so striking!!! This specimen retains an old German label as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable classic!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!

WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 8th!!!
