Spear-Shaped Loellingite on Quartz
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
The Loellingites from this mine are being hailed as best of species material. This dramatic display piece is in remarkably good condition - complete all around save only a small contact or damage notch on the lower-right-front. It features spear-shaped, lustrous, silvery crystals to approx. 3 inches, decorated with small Quartz crystals). A neat combo specimen from recent finds of mid-2012 (found in April). Unlike most such pieces found, this has dramatic 3-dimensional aesthetics and clearly shows the bladed crystals standing up (many are either damaged, or flat-laying.) This is a gorgeous display sized example of a very rare species from other metallic deposits.
