Turquoise

Ok Tedi Mine, Mount Fubilan, Star Mts, Western Province, Papua New Guinea

5.73cm x 3.2cm x 2.27cm

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection #785


Description/Interesting Notes:

A very rare locality example of rare, crystalline turquoise from Papua New Guinea!!! While massive turquoise is relatively common by comparison - examples of crystalline turquoise are quite rare, occuring in just a few localities worldwide!!! Not only is crystalline turquoise rare - examples from this locality are extremely rare, practically nonexistent!!! This specimen is actually part of an exploratory drill core (this locality is actually a gold & copper mine) that hosts a vug lined with handsome, translucent blue turquoise crystals in association with some tiny quartz points as well!!! Upon close inspection one can see that there are severl other smaller cavities that host some turquoise crystals as well some golden chalcopyrite!!! 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 and retains an original collection label as well!!! 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!!!
