Neptunite (Kay Robertson Coll.)

Item Description

Neptunite and Benitoite are signature species from the famous Dallas Gem Mine. The highly lustrous, doubly terminated neptunite miniature has platy growth and desirable reddish-brown color accents. Most neptunites from here are lustrous jet-black. The bit of attached serpentine matrix and white natrolite are typical and fine accessories. Ex Kay Robertson Collection. Her number and label were lost during the move. 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). Excellent and colorful Dallas Gem Mine neptunite.
