Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of "reinite" from Rwanda!!! Reinite is a varietal name for these characteristic pseudomorphs of ferberite after
scheelite!!! This specimen consists of a pair of sharp, complexly modified crystals of scheelite that have
been completely replaced by ferberite!!! The crystals are complete and in fantastic condition!!! This is a magnificent, old time
"reinite" from this seldom referenced locality!!! This specimen retains an old label from A.L. McGuinness 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!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10th!!!
