7.54cm x 5.4cm x 3.77cm

Ex. Calvert Collection

Ex. Martin L. Ehrmann


Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent example of this rare "Holy Grail" species from Cornwall!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that hosts a rich distribution of intense blue to blue green liroconite crystals to 2.5mm in association with deep blue clinoclase crystals to 3.5mm, green tufts of fine acicular olivenite, and unidentified white to pale green balls!!! The liroconite crystals are very well crystallized and way better than the pics show!!! The crystals are sharp, lustrous, and intensely colored!!! The main face hosts a broad area of CHOICE blue crystals while the reverse hosts sharp, isolated crystals of blue green crystals!!! There is a pristine fan of deep indigo blue clinoclase crystals aesthetically perched among intensely colored blue liroconite crystals and unidentified whitish balls on the front of the specimen and, on the reverse there are numerous elongated crystals of lively blue clinoclase perched among sharp blue green liroconite crystals!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and is way better than the pictures show!!! These specimens date to the mid 1800's and are extremely scarce and highly sought after today!!! This specimen retains an old Lord Calvert Collection label and was part of those distributed by Martin L. Ehrmann!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
