A VERY rare example of native rhodium from Alaska!!! Rhodium is one of the rarest precious metals and examples of
actual, naturally occuring native rhodium are exceedingly rare!!! This is a group of seven individual alluvial
crystals of native rhodium!!! The crystals have a silvery gray appearance and,
upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see some subhedral crystal faces as well!!!
These specimens were seperated from PGM material by respected precious metals refiner Engelhard Corp. as noted
on their previous label from Forrest Cureton!!! VERY rare material!!!
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 5000+
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 NOVEMBER 8th!!!
***PLEASE NOTE: We are located in coastal New Jersey and our area has been decimated by HURRICANE SANDY. While Mandy and I are safe and did not suffer any damage, the local area is in very bad shape. The National Guard is here and there has been an overwhelming influx of help and support from all over. We have been lucky enough to have our power restored but there is a critical lack of resources throughout the area. As a result, we may experience some shipping delays and encounter other logistical issues. We thank you most sincerely for your kind wishes and patience during this time. We will continue to offer specimens from the Nikischer collection, as well as other recent acquisitions, during this time however - so don't miss out!!!
