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 a unique 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!!! It is difficult to capture such incredible
and unique color in the pictures - it is simply gorgeous in person!!!
In some small areas on the specimen one can see distinct color
zoning in the cross-section view of some of the "balls" of crystals!!! Some of the crystals have a small core of
greenish color while the remainder of the crystal shows the dramatic blue color - the result is a very unique color expression
indeed!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition with highly lustrous crystals that show marked translucence as
well!!! 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 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!!!
