Description/Interesting Notes:
An outstanding, old time example of this rare platinum bearing species from the type locale in Canada!!! This
specimen hosts a sharp, brilliantly metallic crystal of sperrylite prominently perched on matrix in association
with chalcopyrite, an unidentified silver-metallic mineral, and and unidentified green mineral!!! The
sperrylite crystal has sharp cubic features and mirror-bright silver metallic luster!!! The chalcopyrite
is present as massive brassy-golden material and there is also some unidentified massive,
silvery colored metallic mineral in association as well (there may be some more sperrylite present upon close inspection)!!! There is
also some very curious unidentified green material as well!!! Not only is this a fantastic sperrylite specimen - there
are some unusual and intruiging associations as well!!! This specimen retains an antique label as well!!! Classic 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 DECEMBER 6th!!!
