Item Description

A classic example of the famous Akchatau Mine Creedites featuring dozens of sharp, gemmy, lively purple color crystals measuring up to 8 mm on matrix. These specimens came out in the early 1990s and quickly disappeared from the market, which is a shame as they are some of the most beautiful and distinctive purple Creedites in the world. You can't get these anymore, so don't miss out on this one. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#12190). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Velt" November-December 2017).
