Purple Creedite (Dr. Ed David Coll.)

Item Description

Glassy, lustrous, pretty lavender spearpoints to 8 mm cover the thin sculptural crust on very fine miniature from the Dr. Ed David Collection. This cutie is from the late 1990s finds at the San Antonio Mine in the East Camp and rivals the outstanding creedites from the mid-1980s finds in the West Camp. These are some of the finest purple creedites in the world and this is an exceptional example for the find. Ed was Science Advisor to President Nixon and assembled several world-class collections. Choice specimens, such as this, are RARE compared to those from the West Camp.
