Item Description

A hard to find Telluride specimen from a lesser known locality in Colorado. Mirco grey-silver Coloradoite on grey Quartz matrix. I have photographed the piece with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to illustrate the quality of the little crystals. This piece would certainly make a great addition to any collection of Telluride minerals. If you're a species collector, be sure to get this one! This piece comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value. You can read Joe's biography here: http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=1371
