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


Childrenite

Cornwall, England

6cm x 3.76cm x 3.63cm

Ex. Calvert Collection

Ex. Martin Ehrmann


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic, old time example of childrenite from England!!! This specimen hosts numerous gemmy, golden amber colored crystals of childrenite in association with some highly complex crystals of darkly colored siderite!!! The childrenite crystals are razor sharp, glassy, and gemmy!!! The crystals range in size to over 3mm!!! It is difficult to appreciate in the pictures, but there are many more childrenite crystals present than it appears!!! In person, the childrenite crystals are very apparent however because they are so sharp and brilliant!!! This specimen retains an old Calvert (Lord Calvert) Collection label that came from Martin Ehrmann!!! This old label notes the locality as Cornwall, however it is quite likely more specifically from Devon & Cornwall United Mines in Tavistock!!! Classic old time material!!! 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 SEPTEMBER 22nd!!!
