Important and significant large Colemanite from the world's most important historic locaiton for the species, in Death Valley of California. This striking large borate plate is densely covered with large, lustrous, translucent, amber pseudo-rhombohedral prisms to 5.8 cm. The interior is pristine on this most impressive piece. It is unbelieveable fine for a specimen of this size! Mass is 4700 grams or 10.4 pounds. Ex Bob Reynolds Collection, a well-known fossil and mineral expert and Curator of the San Bernardino County Museum. He passed away in 2020. This is classic, very large and exceptional old-time material. HARD to get in this size and quality! we have seen other examples only in the Currier and Minette collections, and anything in this size is valued over $10,000 IF AND WHEN it turns up on the retail market normally.
