Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of this rare combination of species from Australia!!! This specimen
consists of a complex, crystalline mass of intergrown stolzite crystals with intergrown cuproscheelite crystals and raspite crystals with
some green masses of cuprotungstite!!! The great majority of this specimen is actually comprised of crystalline stolzite and the
oriented crystal faces flash simultaneously at certain angles!!! There are clusters of significantly sized, bipyramidal
crystals of stolzite as well as intergrown masses of submillimeter crystals!!! There are also scattered, intergrown
crystals and masses of cuproscheelite!!! Upon close examination, one can see numerous crystals of colorless raspite
scattered about the specimen as well (these were difficult to capture with the camera, but in person they are readily apparent!!!
There are green masses of cuprotungstite present as well!!! This is amazing material in person!!! Rare, old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of
Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection
of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
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 JANUARY 17th!!!
