Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of these rare tellurides from Canada!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of brilliant, tin-white altaite and
silvery tellurantimony in addition to some minor golden chalcopyrite, and purplish silver mattagamite!!! One can see the brilliant
cleavage faces on the altaite and the tellurantimony is clearly distinguishable buy its different, slightly warmer hue!!! Upon
close inspection one can see numerous areas of other related species as well!!! This material is very rich - with numerous large masses and
veins visible all around the specimen, and there is
much more material present than the pictures show!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains its original personal collection label!!! 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 10th!!!
