Polybasite (Iridescent!) Husky Mine, Elsa, Galena Hill, Mayo Mining District, Yukon Territory, Canada 1.6cm x 1.26cm x .25cm Ex. Ernest Schlichter Collection No. E335

Description/Interesting Notes: An incredible example of this rare and legendary find of stephanite from the Husky Mine!!! These specimens were collected by Joe Weinholtzner in 1976 (the Hansen label dates it as 1976, yet other sources say 1977) and represent one of the most incredible examples of the species known!!! This remote and long-since-flooded locality produced a small quantity of unusually iridescent polybasite and stephanite crystals!!! This is a gorgeous example of polybasite from this amazing and unique find!!! This specimen consists of a razor sharp group of brilliantly lustrous polybasite crystals!!! This specimen is in magnificent condition all around!!! The specimen is nearly pristine with the main crystals being complete and the secondary crystals exhibiting some minor, non-detracting contacts!!! (To find a Husky Mine iridescent polybasite in such condition is notable in itself - as the story goes the entirity of these specimens were kept piled into a single coffee can!!!) The crystal has remarkable and immediately recognizable iridescence in person!!! This specimen is from the personal collection of Ernie Schlicter and retains both his personal label with detailed notecard as well!!! 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!!!
