Ulexite (large) Ordway Coll.

Item Description

The borate deposits of California have produced some really beautiful/oddball mineral specimens. Few are as unusual as ulexite, also called "TV rock" for its fiber-optic-like optical properties. This particular specimen is extremely large, something you almost NEVER see in the mineral; and it has superior prismatic luster and a pearlescent, white color. The ends are contact terminations from coming into contact with the pocket walls. Superb and large for the spcies and very rare as a specimen, instead of simply as cleavage masses! Ex Al Ordway Collection.
