Item Description

A very hard to find specimen of Coquimbite from the Dexter No. 7 Mine in Utah. Sharp, lustrous, translucent, well-formed translucent crystals of Coquimbite measuring up to 5 mm cover nearly every side of this miniature sized specimen. The piece is in superb condition with only a tiny bit of damage. If you collect US minerals or specifically minerals Utah, don't miss out on this attractive rare specimen. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#1832). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
