9iddbos ((THENARDITE pseudomorph after MIRABILITE)), $25 MINIMUM BID, Settling Ponds West of Open Pit Mine, Boron, Kerns County, California, 5 x 5 x 1.2 cm, Miniature | |
Here is a specimen of a very rare pseudomorph collected by Jim Minette many years ago. Here is an aesthetic grouping of sculptural crystals. These pseudomorphs are very delicate and easily broken. This one was coated by Jim Minette to preserve it. It is light in weight and can be handled and shipped without much risk to damage. It is not nearly as delicate as many of the specimens that are like thin brittle eggshells. This is also solid and not hollow like many of the specimens. I got all specimens of this rare pseudomorph from the Jim Minette collection and mineral stock. ex Jim Minette collection. |
