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!!! Of the specimens from this new find, there were just a few that had a colorful association with chalcanthite - this particular specimen
was one of the best!!! The specimen consists of a group of complex crystals with 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 and in terrific condition!!! The chalcanthite is actually well crystallized and
upon close inspection were seen to have a few tiny pyrite crystals included within!!! Simply a magnificent specimen indeed!!! 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!!!
