Sharp Carrollites on large matrix (New Find!)

Item Description

Wow! A RARE, impressive, large and very rich matrix carrollite specimen from a New Find at this well-known locale. Three sharp, larger octahedrons really stand out on the matrix, that includes some smaller pristine carrollites, a MYRIAD of broken carrollite crystals and sections of calcite crystals. The three splendent silver-metallic octahedral crystals have remarkable form and the superb luster that is characteristic of this rare Cu-Co-Ni sulfosalt. Some faces have golden iridescence, that adds even more pizzazz. The striking large octo is 1.7 cm on edge and is nearly pristine, with only a small bruise on a lower edge. The other two crystals, to 1.3 cm, are pristine. This is a remarkable large and rich matrix specimen, rarely on the market in this size and richness. The piece displays well without aid. Mass is 4.6 pounds or 2.1 kilos. Fairly valued at $2500-3000.
