Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible example of BLUE wavellite from a small new find in Arkansas!!! This specimen is from a tiny single
pocket that produced a handful of uniquely colored wavellite crystals!!! This specimen has an extraordinary BLUE to blue green
color - it actually exhibits a significant color change depending on the lighting!!! In sunlight or full spectrum fluorescent
lighting the specimen exhibits a unique blue green color that is unlike anything else I have ever seen in the mineral kingdom!!!
In regular incandescent lighting, the specimen exhibits a more bluish color that is unlike any other wavellite I have ever
seen!! They could easily be mistaken for a curious looking vauxite rather
than wavellite!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition with highly lustrous crystals that show marked translucence as well!!!
The few other specimens of this material, representing the remainder of the find, are going to be featured by a well known high
end mineral dealer in the very near future!!! These rare blue wavellites are no doubt going to be a highly sought after one time
find!!! You don't want to miss out on this rare opportunity!!! The pictures don't even come close to doing this specimen justice!!!
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 APRIL 14th!!!
