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 blue 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 undamaged 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 DECEMBER 23rd!!!
