Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this rare platinum bearing species from the type locality!!! This specimen hosts a brilliant single
sperrylite crystal prominently perched on a chalcopyrite-rich matrix!!! The crystal measures 2.3mm which is significant for the locality!!!
The crystal is in fantastic condition and has complex, brilliantly metallic faces!!! Upon close
inspection with a loupe or scope one can see there the crystal is much more three-dimensional than the pics show!!! This specimen
retains an old, detailed label (acquisition info, date, etc. etc.) as well!!! Rare old time 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 20th!!!
