Crocoite

Dundas mineral field, Zeehan district, Tasmania, Australia

4.4cm x 2.1cm x 1.9cm

Ex. Wolfgang Pohl Collection No. 393


Description/Interesting Notes:

A striking example of crocoite from Tasmania!!! This specimen hosts a sharp, intensely colored crystal of crocoite aesthetically perched on a small amount of smartly contrasting black matrix!!! The crystal measures 2.6cm and is actually doubly terminated!!! This specimen has been repaired, and while I rarely sell repaired specimens, I do make exceptions in cases where a specimens are significant or special in some way!!! This specimen is simply gorgeous in person!!! This specimen is from the collection of Wolfgang Pohl and retains his original label (with the old label of the dealer he got it from affixed as well) and shows is characteristic "sketch" on the back of the label!!! Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back and forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping with most of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info on locale, source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However, the most interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the specimen on the reverse side as well!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
