COVELLITE SPECIMEN
MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE PHOTOS REVEAL
Over a decade ago I purchased this intriguing specimen of covellite from a rock shop in Butte, Montana. Butte, Montana’s copper mines are noted for the very best specimens of Covellite available. This is the absolute best specimen that I have seen, and I have seen many.
Measuring approximately 2 1/2 x 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches and weighing 197.6 grams (6.9 ounces), approximately two thirds of this large specimen is matrix on which the crystals formed. There is a wealth of the much sought after foliated, bladed crystal formations. Resplendent with its indigo, highly reflective thin blades, this startling earth treasure is simply amazing. Though the crystal plates show the typical lovely indigo and magenta hues at one angle, they display a coppery green as well. Such bladed crystals, while not rare, are exceedingly hard to find especially in an undamaged condition. Too often many specimens of Covellite have suffered damage to the striking blades of magenta, electric green and indigo. This treasure has no damage.I could detect NO damage, scrapes or broken blades. Specimen looks remarkable under magnification, use a hand lens to magnify and appreciate this superb object and examine it close-up carefully and wonder about the intricacy of the blades and their superb fire.Viewed through a hand lens, this forest of platy, sharp bladed iridescence is truly a marvel ! Specimen will look marvellous on display so do not miss this chance to add this exquisite collector's item in your collection.
THIS SPECIMEN IS LOCATED IN MY PARTNERS OFFICE IN THE U.S AND WILL BE SHIPPED FROM THE U.S AND A TRACKING NUMBER WILL BE PROVIDED ON DAY OF SHIPMENT.

Good customer service and superfast shipment.
Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
