Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of stolzite from California!!! These specimens were initially thought to be scheelite crystals
and were identified as such for decades!!! Although they were found in the late 1950's and it wasn't until relatively
recently that they were determined to be some of the worlds finest stolzites!!! Today these specimens are scarce and
seldom seen on the market!!! This specimen hosts a particularly large crystal of stolzite in association with
several other smaller crystals scattered about!!! The crystals exhibit a slightly
distorted octahedral form characteristic of the locality!!! The main crystal measures well over 2.7cm!!! This specimen is
in fantastic condition and displays magnificently from numerous angles!!! This
is one of the finest examples of this rare occurence I have seen in quite some time!!!
Additionally, this specimen is quite
fluorescent (blue/yellow)as well!!! Simply a magnificent example of this rare species from California!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
