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!!! They could easily be mistaken for a curious looking vauxite rather
than wavellite!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition with highly lustrous undamaged crystals that show
marked clarity as well!!! The combination of intense colors, unique features, and high quality make this
specimen quite striking indeed!!! 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!!!
