Special TUCSON SHOW 2012 Auctions!!!


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


Nioboaeschynite-(Ce)

Upper Fir carbonatite, Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada

1.78cm x 1.6cm x .76cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A very rare example of crystalline nioboaeschynite-Ce from Canada!!! This rare species is known almost exclusively as massive material, however this specimen is from a very small, one time find of very well crystallized nioboaeschynite-Ce crystals!!! These are some the finest known examples of crystalline nioboaeschynite-Ce (basically the ONLY meaningful crystals)!!! This specimen consists of a solid crystal of nioboaeschynite-Ce in association with a small amount of matrix!!! The crystal has dark color with dark brownish highlights and marked luster!!! There are no "complete" crystals of this material and this is a fantastic example of the species for this extremely limited find!!! This material is from a recent find and it is my understanding only a very small amount of this incredible material was recovered!!! This is my last remaining specimen so don't miss out!!! There is a lot more going on with this specimen than the pics show!!! 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!!!
