Danalite with Fluorite

Grants Mills, Cumberland, Providence Co., Rhode Island

8.44cm x 5.2cm x 4.1cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

An extraordinary, old time example of this rare species from Rhode Island!!! This specimen consists of a large, rich mass of danalite that hosts incredible, large areas of crystalline danalite along with sharp individual crystals in association with purple fluorite!!! In addition to these two main species, the matrix hosts tiny cavities that show some incredible microcrystals of greenockite (sharp and lustrous!) as well as associated zircon, rutile, riebeckite and possibly other species (the matrix is literally amazing when examined with a loupe or scope!)!!! The danalite has deep red color and, although it is largely opaque, there are numerous small areas of near gemmy clarity!!! Danalite is almost always found as amorphous grains or masses, with crystalline material being quite rare!!! This specimen hosts a broad face that shows incredible crystallization for the species!!! In addition, there are numerous significant crystal faces scattered throughout the specimen AND there are a few small complete crystals of gemmy danalite present near the purple fluorite as well!!! This is an extraordinary example of danalite from any locality - and an incredible specimen for Rhode Island as well!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
