Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible example of this rare and unusual pseudomorph from Montana!!! This specimen
consists of a matrix of massive talc that hosts several very sharp, lustrous pseudomorphs of talc after
an unidentified mineral!!! The previous label identifies these pseudomorphs as being after quartz, however the
form is quite unusual indeed!!! Although pseudomorphs after dolomite, calcite, and quartz are known from this
locale, it is possible that this is something much rarer!!!
Reminiscent of the classic talc pseudomorphs from Germany, these specimens from Montana are quite rare in comparison and as a result,
virtually unknown to collectors!!! The crystals are very sharp and even have great luster as well!!! This specimen
is in fantastic condition and displays fantastically in person!!! Simply an incredible example of this rare pseudomorph!!!
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 6000+ 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!!!
