Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible example of this rare and sought after species from Madagascar!!! Thortveitite is a
very rare silicate of scandium - out of the four thousand plus mineral species there are just a few
that contain scandium - and they are all very rare indeed!!! This specimen consists of a
very significant crystal that has very sharp faces, brilliant glassy luster, and areas
of marked clarity as well!!! Simply a killer example of this rare species!!! This specimen
retains a museum label as well!!!
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 DECEMBER 6th!!!
