Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of this rare platinum-bearing species from the type locale in Canada!!! This is a hand-made, antique glass vial that is filled with
brilliant metallic crystals of sperrylite!!! While there appears to be some fine grains of matrix (?) in the vial as well, the majority of the material in the
vial is crystalline sperrylite!!! Upon close examination one can see loads of
complete sperrylite crystals exhibiting all manner of various habits!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains an old
label with William Kelly collection notation as well!!! Don't miss out on this rare and valuable treasure!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this specimen 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 MARCH 24th!!!
