Item Description
Schuilingite-(Nd) is a ultra rare complex hydrated carbonate found in only three localities worldwide. This obscure Ni-Cu-Co deposit, was worked during the 1940's and 1950's. Scattered patches of powder-blue microcrystals richly cover the front and are scattered elsewhere on the gossan matrix. Purchased from respected dealer Al McGuiness in 1977 for $60. Value today for such an old rarity???
