Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of phosgenite from Italy!!! This specimen hosts numerous sharp, lustrous
crystals of phosgenite on a matrix of massive galena!!! The crystals have razor-sharp, glassy faces and translucent to
gemmy clarity!!! The crystals are in magnificent condition and range in size to 1cm!!! Classic, old time material!!!
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)!!!
