Phosphophyllite Hagendorf, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany 5.2cm x 4.6cm x 3.66cm Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection #1055

Description/Interesting Notes: A terrific example of this prized "Holy Grail" mineral species from the type locality in Germany!!! The great majority of phosphophyllite specimens from this locale consist of tiny, insignificant crystals - however this specimen hosts a particularly large group of crystals with classic green color!!! This specimen hosts a large, 2.3 cm contiguous group of intergrown crystals with individual crystals to over 1cm!!! There are other clusters of smaller crystals scattered about the specimen as well!!! The phosphophyllite crystals have bright glassy luster, sharp faces, and translucent to gemmy clarity!!! There is also an area of dark, indigo-colored massive vivianite as well!!! Old material!!! Upon close inspection one can see areas of characteristic twinning as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains its original personal collection label!!! 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!!!
