Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of turquoise after beryl from California!!! This specimen consists sharp single crystal of
beryl that has been completely replaced by turquiose!!! Do not mistake this specimen for
one of the relatively common turquoise pseudomorphs after apatite from Mexico - these turquoise after beryl pseudomorph
specimens are mineralogically unique and very rare by comparison!!! This unusual find has been written about extensively and
is the only such location where such pseudomorphs are known to occur!!! This specimen has sharp faces and rich blue
color!!! Upon close inspection, one can see some small modified faces as well as
some areas of surprising luster on some faces!!! Rare and unique 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!!!
