Ex. J. T. Reeder Collection (1857-1937)

Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineralogical Museum No. JTR-818
(Michigan Technological University)


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare matrix example of boleite from Mexico!!! This specimen hosts a pair of intense royal blue boleite crystals prominently perched on matrix!!! The boleite crystals are significantly sized with glassy luster, razor sharp faces, and rich blue color!!! Aside for a very minor contact, the crystals are complete and pristine!!! This is an OLD specimen that originally came from the collection of J.T. Reeder (1857-1937)!!! J.T. Reeder worked for the Osceola and Tamarack mines in Michigan and had assembled a world-class mineral collection of minerals from the region which gradually exanded to North American and worldwide specimens!!! The donation of Reeder's collection to the A.E. Seaman Museum was one of its most important acquisitions in terms of quality and significance!!! This specimen retains labels from the Seaman museum with Reeder notation as well as affixed catalogue numbers!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
