Description/Interesting Notes:

We are currently at the TUCSON SHOW, click here to see our "Tucson 2010 Blog" and get exciting updates from the show, including new specimens and finds!!!

An incredible example of coquimbite from a new find in Peru!!! This small new find represents the one of best examples of this species known!!! This specimen is one of the largest single crystals from this small lot of material!!! This specimen consists of a very large, complex single crystal with numerous smaller crystals in association!!! The specimen has sharp, lustrous faces and marked clarity!!! The color is absolutely exceptional and actually exhibits some significant color change - with sunlight and incandescent lighting producing an intense "Pulsifer apatite-like" purple color and some synthetic light sources yielding an almost tan color!!! Only a few specimens had such incredible color!!! This specimen is complete all around and the bottom is terminated as well!!! Complete and damage free!!! This is one of the best crystals of this material that is nearly all already gone (there were only two such crystals, all the others consisted of clusters of much smaller crystals)!!! You can find out more about this find on our Tucson Show 2010 Blog through our "About Me" page!!! Don't miss out on this extraordinary specimen!!!
