Rare Triplites from Pakistan
Nov 10, 2015 - Triplite is a very rare phosphate with gorgeous color. It is one of the single most rare minerals to ever come out of Shigar, Pakistan region, and the crystals from here are certainly world's best of species by a long distance. These specimens, all from one small pocket collected just before the Denver show in August of 2015, have the rich red color characteristic of the species. They seem to have formed as extended crystals filling a thin vein cavity, and so are unusually flat and elongated (which lets light through more readily than from other finds!), and are mostly floaters. This is, to me, a rare chance to get a good Triplite crystal that is above 1 cm in size, as they are SO rare in the world and on the market. Note that these are not form the previously known Namlook mine in a nearby valley. I have never seen such large crystals at prices below 5 figures. I have also never seen so many in one place for sale at reasonable prices before and do not expect to, again.

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.
