Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible example of BLUE wavellite from a small new find in Arkansas!!! This specimen is from a tiny single pocket
that produced a handful of uniquely colored wavellite crystals!!! This specimen has an extraordinary BLUE to blue green color -
it actually exhibits a significant color change depending on the lighting!!! In sunlight or full spectrum fluorescent lighting
the specimen exhibits an intense blue green color that is unlike anything else I have ever seen in the mineral kingdom!!! In
regular incandescent lighting, the specimen exhibits a more bluish color that is unlike any other wavellite I have ever seen!!!
The color is much more significant than the pictures show too!!! They could easily be mistaken for a curious looking vauxite
rather than wavellite!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition with highly lustrous crystals that show marked
translucence as well!!! The few other specimens of this material, representing the remainder of the find, are going to be
featured by a well known high end mineral dealer in the very near future!!! These rare blue wavellites are no doubt going
to be a highly sought after one time find!!! You don't want to miss out on this rare opportunity!!! The pictures don't
even come close to doing this specimen justice!!!
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 JANUARY 13th!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
