Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of this highly prized "ruby silver" from Chile!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of
sharp, glassy, GEMMY crystals of intense RUBY RED proustite!!! The crystals exhibit highly complex habits with
sharply defined features and brilliantly glassy luster!!! These old time Charnacillo proustites date
to the mid 1800's and represent some of the finest examples of the species known!!! The pictures don't even capture
just how impressive this brilliant gem is in person!!! This specimen has stunning color and gemminess all around!!!
Although the specimen is not entirely pristine, there are some very fine crystals present and the specimen
displays gorgeously in person!!!
This specimen is from the lifelong personal collection of Frank & Wendy Melanson!!!
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 MAY 9th!!!
