Description/Interesting Notes:
A very rare example of montgomeryite with variscite from this classic Utah locale!!! This specimen consists of rich,
colorful nodule of green variscite that hosts a magnificent combination of rare and crystalline species from this famed locality!!!
Montgomeryite was named for legendary mineralogist Arthur Montgomery!!! This specimen hosts oustanding, terminated, translucent blue-green crystals of montgomeryite to
3.25mm!!! There is a rich cluster of montgomeryite crystals as well as flattened crystalline groups and masses included in the
associated species!!! In addition to the montgomeryite, there are significant showings of white, crystalline balls of millisite!!!
While wardite and crandallite are commonly seen from this locality - this specimen hosts vugs lined with actual, sharp crystals of
crandallite - crystalline examples of crandallite are very rare indeed!!! In addition to these rare and crystalline species, this
specimen hosts a significant portion of intensely colored variscite as well!!! This is a fantastic old time rarity from this famed
locality's heyday!!! The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Don't miss out on this valuable rarity!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!

WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 5th!!!
