Item Description
A SHOWY and EXCELLENT miniature specimen of quartz replacing wulfenite crystals on a matrix covered with sparkly botryoids of pastel-green to blue, drusy quartz from the famous Finch Mine of Arizona. The largest crystal is 1.2 cm, all are pristine and the pseudos are nicely translucent. This is a rich specimen from this find. This is one of the rarest Arizona replacement specimens available on the market. It has been nearly 10 months since we last had one of these rarities to offer at auction. They turn up only very infrequently in collections. This is a CHOICE miniature of highest quality, valued $750-1000 based on past sales. Get a good one, when you can. Ex K.D. Smith Collection of Tempe, Arizona.
