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 - in person the blue color has a definite greenish note to it which is due in part to the complex,
color-zoned crystals!!! 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!!! The "cores" of the crystal contain some green areas while the vast majority has this unusual 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!!! 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!!!
Don't forget!!! THIS AUCTION WILL END ON *FRIDAY*, NOVEMBER 25th, due to the upcoming U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
