Creedite (excellent rare orange color)

Item Description

I think that one could say an argument can be made that the finest specimens of Creedite in the world are those from the Navidad Mine in Mexico. If you factor in the sheer number of fine quality display specimens, in larger than average sizes, along with the rare and eye-catching orange color, and you have something special. As is often the case, the quantity of specimens found probably diminished their overall value, but they are truly remarkable for what they are. You never seen orange Creedite like this from anywhere else, and the style and quality of the pieces is about as good as you can ask for. This piece features a group of fine quality crystallized "sprays" comprising many sharp, well-formed, lustrous, gemmy, strong orange colored prismatic crystals of Creedite, with individual crystals measuring up to 1.2 cm. The piece is nearly crystallized all the way around, save one small point of attachment on the base where it was removed from the pocket wall. A fantastic example of the oft-underappreciated pieces from Mexico. Priced at $1,000 in the inventory.
