Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible, old time example of wurtzite from Greece!!! This specimen hosts a very rich showing of crystalline wurtzite in association
with greenockite!!! The broad face of the specimen is loaded with sharp, lustrous crystals of wurtzite that measure to 5mm!!! The wurtzite is much better
crystallized than the pictures show because only the more deeply colored gemmy crystals tend to show up in the pics - in person the front of the specimen is seen to be
quite well crystallized!!! The wurtzite is also present as thick crystalline veins throughout the matrix and more can be seen on the reverse!!! The
reverse also shows a significant amount of intense orange greenockite as well!!! This is an extraordinary example of wurtzite from this seldom represented old locality!!!
This specimen is amazing in person - the pics hardly do it justice!!! Old material!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
