Antlerite (rare 1920's) (ex David Burgess Collection)

Item Description

This old time specimen of Antlerite dates back to the 1920's according to the accompanying Josef Vajdak label. It is probably the richest specimen of Antlerite that we've ever had to offer from Spania Dolina. Every side of the specimen features beautiful blue-green colored aggregates and "crusts" of this rare copper sulfate. If you collect rarities or classics from Europe, this is a good quality specimen to add to your collection. VERY few of these are available on the market, and we've only had a handful to offer for sale over the years. Valued at $700. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016). David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
