Johachidolite with Sodalite var. Hackmanite, Mica, and Unknown

1.4" x 1.38" x 1"

3.56cm x 3.5cm x 2.5cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely magnificent example of the very rare species johachidolite from Burma!!! This specimen hosts a large and, for the species, very well crystallized example of bright orange johachidolite in a matrix of the MOST intense purple hackmanite I have ever seen!!! There is also a wonderful muscovite crystal in association, as well as a colorless crystal of unknown identity!!! There are some smaller johachidolite crystals as well, one of which appears to be complete and undamaged!!! The hackmanite is intensely fluorescent and, even more dramatically, incredibly tenebrescent!!! The color combination of bright orange and intense violet is second to none!!! This specimen was the best example that I could find in all of Tucson last year (and there were only a handful of specimens too) and much lesser specimens were selling for prices into the four digits!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this specimen justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! Ebay Note: This item was imported prior to trade restrictions with Burma STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 24th!!!
