Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible example of this rare and legendary find of stephanite from the Husky Mine!!! These specimens were
collected by Joe Weinholtzner in 1976 and represent
one of the most incredible examples of the species known!!! This remote and long-since-flooded locality produced a
small quantity of unusually iridescent polybasite and stephanite crystals (with the stephanite crystals being
dramatically more rare)!!! This is an incredible and significant example of stephanite for this amazing and
unique find!!! This crystal is a complete floater - with no point of attachment and complete terminations
at both ends!!! (To find a complete, doubly terminated crystal is quite rare in itself because, as the story
goes the entirity of these specimens were kept in a piled into a single coffee can!!!) The crystal is
incredibly complex and much more sharp and detailed than it appears in the pics!!! The crystal has an
absolutely unbelievable iridescence - above an beyond anything else I can think of in the mineral
kingdom - it is truly astonishing in person!!!
The pics don't even come close to doing 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 2nd!!!
