Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, old time example of native lead from this historic locale!!! Examples of native lead are quite rare in nature because of it decomposes into various alteration products
rather easily!!! This specimen hosts a significant showing of native lead, partially
protruding from matrix!!! Upon close inspection one can see smaller areas of native lead protruding from the matrix and
areas of native lead completely embedded in the matrix as well!!! One can also see that there are some other associated species present
as crusts on some of the native lead as well!!! Classic old time material!!! The matrix shows intense red-orange fluorescence under SW UV!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of
Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection
of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JANUARY 10th!!!
