Tucson 2008 Kickoff Auctions!!!
***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***

Cuproadamite

Mohawk Mine, Clark Mts, San Bernardino Co., California

.55" x .54" x .43"

1.4cm x 1.38cm x 1.1cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

Although this specimen is technically synthetic, prehniteam emeralds are considered by many to be indistinguishable from naturally occurring emerald!!!. This cluster consists of many well-formed emeralds that are simply incredible!!! The color is an absolutely perfect emerald green and it is much better than the photographs show!!! If one so desired, I would imagine that this specimen could be faceted into many valuable faceted gemstones but I think it is simply spectacular as is!!! This specimen is DRAMATICALLY more gemmy than most of the clusters I have seen from prehniteam!!! This specimen is a lot more impressive in person and was very difficult to photograph because it had such rich color and glassy luster!!! I have found that the only other way one can obtain these specimens through prehniteam on their website, (go to the consumer pricelist) It is also quite interesting to learn about the process!!! They are $21/carat (VERY EXPENSIVE)!!! This specimen weighs a minimum of 3.5 grams, or 17.5 carats!!! Such a weight, at $21/carat would give this specimen a value of approximately $367.50 at a minimum!!! And that is the price directly from the manufacturer!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!

STAY TUNED! - More fantastic auctions will be listed this Saturday evening for a special 5-Day auction ending at the regular time on Thursday evening, January 24th!!! Don't miss out!!!
