Malachite Yerrington-Copper King Mine, Mineral Co., Nevada 9.54cm x 8.1cm x 6.6cm Ex. Fred Burrall (c. 1906) Ex. G. A. Koenig Collection Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #DM-9318

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, old time example of malachite from this seldom represented Nevada locale!!! This specimen consists of a vuggy matrix that hosts numerous sprays of lively green malachite crystals!!! The crystals are present as intergrown sprays of crystals and club-shaped groups of fibrous crystals!!! Although the matrix may look like friable limonitic matrix in the pics, it is actually comprised of rigid, complexly altered quartz that just shows significant iron staining!!! This is rare, old time material from the Yerrington Copper King Mine and dates to at least 1906 (when Koenig acquired it from Burrall)!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains a museum label with G.A. Koenig Collection notation!!! The specimen also retains an old Koenig label with Fred Burrall notation dated 1906!!! 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!!!
