***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Boracite

Eime, Elze, Lower Saxony, Germany

1.12cm x .83cm x .83cm

Ex. Florence Mecke Collection

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely incredible, old time example of boracite from Germany!!! This specimen consists of a large single crystal of aquamarine-green boracite!!! Usually this species is encountered as tiny crystals a couple millimeters in size, however this specimen is huge at over 1.1cm!!! This specimen is complete and undamaged all around!!! The crystal exhibits a striking dodecahedral habit with glassy luster and gemmy clarity!!! Curiously, the crystal exhibits complexly etched features on each face - consisting of complex, shallow cavities - this unusual feature gives the specimen a very unique look and also seems to add to its lively internal play of light!!! This specimen has gorgeous aquamarine-greenish color and is very showy in person!!! This is a killer, old time boracite!!! 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!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
