Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this rare platinum bearing species from the type locality in Canada!!! This specimen hosts a pair of brilliantly
metallic crystals of sperrylite in matrix!!! The crystals are sharp and undamged!!! The crystals have sharp, brilliantly metallic faces with
some highly complex modifications!!! Usually the sperrylite crystals from this locality are submillimeter in size, however these crystals measure
up to over 2.5mm!!! Often these Vermillion Mine specimens' crystals are embedded in the matrix, however this
specimen hosts crystals that are prominently perched on the matrix!!! Simply a fantastic type-locality example of this rare platinum-bearing species!!!
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 21st!!!
