Description/Interesting Notes:
An incredible, old time example of uraninite from Canada!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of gemmy, well formed crystals of phlogopite in
combination with large, complexly modified crystals of diopside that serves as a matrix for numerous cubic crystals of uraninite and a lone crystal of
apatite!!! The uraninite crystals are present as sharp black cubes scattered throughout the specimen that range in size to well over 4mm!!! The diopside crystals have
marked luster and translucence with complexly modified habits!!! The phlogopite crystals are sharp, lustrous, and gemmy - they are quite striking
upon close inspection!!! Simply a magnificent specimen all around!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 21st!!!
