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


Thorianite

Balangoda, Ratnapura District, Sabaragamuwa Province, Sri Lanka

.65cm x .6cm x .51cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific, old time example of thorianite from Sri Lanka!!! This specimen consists of a single, cubic crystal of thorianite with a small amount of alluvial concretion in association!!! The thorianite crystal has jet-black color and exhibits characteristic rounded, alluvial features!!! The small amount of "matrix" is very hard and dense, and hosts some curious unidentified materials as well (upon examination with a scope there appeared to be a few microscopic flakes of native gold, however at such a tiny size I am unable to say for certain)!!! This is classic, old time material collected prior to WWII!!! 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!!!
