Specimen Lot #2......
A beautifully white and sparkly clean microcline/albite in combination with smokey quartz crystals (many top and bottom) is the center of this lot. Size of the center piece is a miniature at just under 2.5" and is a micromount delight! Also included for this lot, another smokey quartz crystal that at first glance appears to be broken which it was.....but mother nature has tried to fix the broken end over time and the broken end now has been "mended" naturally with many small terminations. The other pieces are, geothite (micromount), a nice pale amazonite crystal with good form, a pseudomorph hematite after siderite (awesome sheen and form), and another light tan colored microcline/albite formation with awesome shape and sheen too! Opening bid to be above $70.00 ....... shipping $12.00 added to winning bid Specimen Lot #2 -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
