Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic, old time example of antlerite from this seldom referenced locale!!! This specimen hosts a significant showing of
sharp, terminated crystals of gemmy, emerald green antlerite in association with calcite, blue plancheite, massive cuprite, and
other related species!!! The antlerite crystals are scattered about matrix comprised of an unidentified pale bluish-green to white
material, blue plancheite, and reddish brown massive cuprite!!! There are a few gem-clear, complex crystals of calcite
perched atop the main cluster of antlerite crystals!!! There are some scattered tiny balls of plancheite scattered about as well!!!
The antlerite crystals are simply incredible upon close inspection with a loupe or scope!!! Rare and unusual old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of
Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be
some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY FEBRUARY 21st!!!
