Description/Interesting Notes:
An extraordinary example of scorodite from Algeria!!! This specimen consists of a complex, multi-hued cluster of
scorodite crystals!!! These old time examples of scorodite from Algeria are quite rare and scarcely seen on todays
market!!! This specimen is comprised almost entirely of crystalline scorodite!!! Usually the scorodite specimens
from this locality are seen as massive or somewhat botryoidal stalactitic forms with no discernable crystals - this
specimen is quite exceptional in that it is so well crystallized with prominent, sharp, gemmy crystals!!! The
scorodite crystals have brilliant luster, gemmy clarity and color that ranges from yellow to greenish to light blue!!!
This specimen is very showy in person - simply an amazing example of the species from this rare locality!!!
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 JULY 7th!!!
