Description/Interesting Notes:
A very unusual example of sylvanite and coloradoite from Montana!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of silvery metallic
sylvanite and coloradoite intergrown with chrysocolla and minor azurite!! The sylvanite and coloradoite both have distinctly
different hues in person - with the sylvanite having a much warmer, silvery hue whereas the coloradoite has a much more slate-gray
silvery hue!!! Upon close inspection it appears that the sylvanite and coloradoite are almost suspended in a chrysocolla-like
silicaceous substrate!!! I have never seen anything like this material - it is almost like microscopic grains are distributed throughout
thin layers of chrysocolla (it originally came from David New to Tony Nikischer and had a note
that it was ID'd by Sid Williams)!!! Rich and VERY unusual 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 4th!!!
