Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this rare species in unusual association from Brazil!!! This specimen consists of a well formed cluster of
samarskite crystals with numerous epitaxial crystals of columbite!!! This is a rare and unusual combination indeed!!! The
samarskite crystals are well terminated and complete!!! The columbite crystals have a dark, jet black color with lustrous, complexly
modified faces!!! The combination is actually quite handsome in person!!!
This unusual beauty is much sharper and showier than the pictures show!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and displays
terrifically all the way around!!! Old material!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 5th!!!
