Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent, old time example of turquoise from this famed Arizona locale!!! This specimen consists of a large, rich
mass of lapidary-grade gem turquoise in association with some quartz!!! This specimen came from an old cache of gem-grade Kingman turquoise
that dates to the 1950's!!! This material is totally natural and has not been stabilized or treated in any way!!! The
material has magnificent color throughout and is very hard and dense!!! There are some small areas where one can see that
the turquoise came into contact with actual quartz crystal faces, leaving behind tiny areas with sharp, lustrous features!!! There
are also some unidentified sulphides present as well (present as darkly colored masses)!!!
This material is simply gorgeous in person!!! Classic 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!!!
