An absolutely extraordinary example of clinoclase from California!!! This specimen would be a magnificent
example of the species for any locality, however for California this specimen is absolutely mind-blowing!!!
This specimen hosts a broad vug that is completely lined with large, intensely colored, deep blue balls of
clinoclase crystals on a matrix of lively, turquoise colored chrysocolla!!! The clinoclase crystals are present
as balls of sharply defined, intergrown crystals that show marked luster and gorgeous blue color!!! This specimen
is in magnificent condition all around and is way better than the pics show!!! This is an AMAZING specimen in every
regard!!! An amazing, gorgeous California rarity indeed!!!
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

***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
