Turquoise Nishapur, Khorasan, former Persia 3.92cm x 2.7cm x 1.9cm Ex. Florence Mecke Collection Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of gem turquoise from this famous historic locale!!! This locality was originally mined by the ancient Persians and produced what is considered by many to be the finest turquiose known!!! Specimens are rarely seen on todays market and this is OLD material!!! This specimen is mostly solid turquoise that has a "rind" of matrix in areas!!! The turquoise has a gorgeous, choice blue color and is remarkably dense, fine, and has a slightly lustrous appearance - this is exceptional gem grade material!!! The specimen has surprising heft for its size as well!!! In person it is immediately discernable that this is unique, characteristic material from this premier ancient locality!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! 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!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
