Herderite (ex Rich Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

This may not be the most colorful Herderite in the world, but it's a very good sized crystal with INCREDIBLY lustrous, sharp faces. The color is a mix of a light green and cream colors, but the amazing part to me is that it's 95% complete, and shows textbook form. This piece came from the Richard Kosnar collection, and his notes state that is was mined in 1970. Kosnar acquired the specimen from the famous mineralogist Dick Gaines nearly 40 years ago. Even though the crystal is opaque, the highly glassy faces are truly eye-catching. A very cool, old time Herderite specimen!
