Description/Interesting Notes:
A gorgeous, old time example of this rare species from Italy!!! This specimen hosts a handsome cluster of razor-sharp, gem-clear crystals of
phosgenite on a matrix of massive galena!!! Prominently centered in this cluster of crystals is a pristine, gem crystal that
has a sharp, complete termination with a complex array of intricately modified faces!!! The crystals have brilliant, glassy luster with
razor sharp faces and gemmy clarity!!! Rarely do you see phosgenite crystals of such quality!!! This specimen is from the
A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains an old affixed catalogue number as well!!! Rare old material!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 20th!!!
