Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely AMAZING example of CRYSTALLINE tenorite from Russia!!! This specimen came from a very small find collected
at a volcanic fumarole just a few weeks ago!!! Volcanic fumaroles emit super-heated steam and poisonous gases -
collecting anything from a volcanic fumarole can be extremely dangerous!!! While tenorite itself is not uncommon, it is
usually found as massive ore with actual crystals of tenorite being very rare indeed!!! This specimen hosts numerous
prominent sprays of jet-black tenorite crystals scattered across its surface!!! The crystal groups range in size to
9mm!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope, one can see that the crystals are actually comprised of
elongated groups of thin, intergrown tabular crystals!!! Incredible material - don't miss out!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 23rd!!!
