Item Description
Scintillating, beautiful, turquoise-blue, turquoise microcrystals richly cover one end of the slabbed quartz matrix on this fine piece from the Bishop Mine. Lynch Station arguably produces the world"s finest crystalized turquoise. Crystallized turquoise is for some reason a true rarity in nature and occurs only at a VERY few localities worldwide. This is a sparkly, beautiful example of this historic rare material. valued $250. Ex Allen Heyl Collection.
