Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of GEM wurtzite from this famed locale in Tanzania!!! While the Merelani Hills are most famous for their
tanzanite specimens, there are a host of exciting mineral discoveries being made at this locale!!! These incredible
wurtzites from Merelani represent some truly exceptional examples of the species indeed - with sharp, significantly sized, crystals of
gem quality!!! This specimen consists of a characteristic hexagonal crystal with complexly stepped features on one side and a smooth, glassy
face on the opposite side!!! The crystal is in fantastic condition with intense orange-red color, gemmy clarity, and sharp, lustrous faces!!!
Simply a fantastic example of the species!!!
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!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 6th!!!
