Creedite (rare material) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

Classic gemmy light purple colored crytals of Creedite measuring up to 1.0 cm on matrix from this lesser known locality in Nevada. Purple Creedite crystals are well-known from localities like Santa Eulalia in Mexico, and Akchatau, Kazakhstan, but these classic Nevada specimens are quite scarce, so you have to grab them when you see them. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#10573). 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).
