***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Marshite included with Cuprite var. Chalcotrichite

Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia

3cm x 1.07cm x 1cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific example of this rare species from Broken Hill!!! This specimen consists of an unusual, tube-like matrix that hosts groups of tiny marshite crystals in association with scattered areas of cuprite var. chalcotrichite!!! The marshite crystals owe their lively red color to rich inclusions of bright red chalcotrichite!!! Upon close inspection, the marshite is very well crystallized upon, consisting of a dense network of submillimeter, lustrous, translucent red crystal!!! Although the crystals are quite complex, upon close inspection, one can see triangular faces as well as overall pyramidal habits!!! The pics don't come close to doing it justice!!! This is rare, older material from Broken Hill!!! Of course the crystals exhibit red fluorescence under SW UV as well!!! This specimen was part of a larger single specimen that originally came through the South Australia Museum via Forrest Cureton!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
