Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely exceptional example of this rare and sought after species from Montana!!! Let me start off by saying that this specimen is way, WAY
better than the pictures show!!! These are unique, unusually thick crystals that have highly complex surface features!!!
Much of what might at first appear to be damage are actually highly complex surface features!!! While the crystals are sharp, glassy, and
loaded with intense deep blue color - they have minute, complex features scattered about on the edges, terminations, and faces!!! Usually the
veszelyite crystals from this locality are seen as flattened, highly distorted crystals - these crystals are thick and sharpy euhedral!!!
The crystals are arranged in what is essentially a doubly terminated spray of crystals on a small amount of greenish matrix!!! This specimen
is a killer in person and displays magnificently all around!!! Sharp, glassy crystals with striking
deep blue color, and marked clarity!!! Gorgeous color with flashes of intense blue throughout!!! This locality has long been closed and flooded!!! Veszelyite crystals of any
size or quality are quite difficult to come by - with exceptional specimens such as this being next to impossible to obtain!!!
You do not want to miss out on this valuable rarity!!! This specimen is from the personal collection of Sal Avella and retains its original
label!!!
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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 4th!!!
