5.16cm x 3.64cm x 1.2cm
Ex. Alfredo Petrov Collection
Description/Interesting Notes:An absolutely magnificent example of veszelyite from this rare and unusual Japanese locality!!! This specimen comes from a very unusual small find made back in the 1970's!!! What made the locality so unusual was that it was not a copper mine - or a mine at all, but rather a quarry for road fill and gravel!!! It was just a very small find and very few specimens were ever recovered, with the great majority being micros - essentially just locality reference specimens!!! There were very few specimens of any size or aesthetics and this specimen represents what is a truly exceptional specimen for the locality!!! This specimen consists of SOLID veszeylite!!! The specimen is actually a heavy, sturdy grouping of highly complex intergrown crystals of veszelyite!!! The color is WAY better than the pictures show - and has the characteristic color for the species!!! There are numerous well crystallized forms all over the specimen, consisting of individual crystals, sprays, and complex sheaths of crystals!!! This is one of those rare specimens you will likely never see again!!! The pictures don't even come close to doing it justice!!! The crystallization, quality, and color are all better than the pics show!!! This specimen retains Alfredo Petrov's personal collection label!!!
