Szenicsite (Type Locality & superb!) ex. Szenics

Item Description

Szenicsite is an ultra-rare and desirable anhydrous Cu-molybdate discovered by and named for the well-known field collector Terry Szenics in 1993. All good specimens came from this one find and were sold by him in the mid 1990s. This single szenicsite occurrence was an isolated area, approximately 1 cubic meter in size and Terry collected all of it (MINDAT). Here is a superb miniature, coming to light after 20 years in a collection. Few of this top quality are on the market, or will be. This exceptional and sculptural two-sided miniature consists of intergrown lamellar clusters of gorgeous, lustrous electric-green bladed crystals. Valued at $2000 AT LEAST, this would have been valued highly even back in the day when it was found. It is a rare opportunity to get one of those rare species that also is beautiful and significant, adn unlikely to be found again; and yet displays well in a collection of other minerals.I personallyb uy every one of these that turns up again, in this quality.
