ggg ((LAUMONTITE)), $40 MINIMUM BID, Pine Creek Mine, Bishop, California, 8.5 x 2 x 1 cm, Cabinet, | |
Laumontite is not know for holding up very well but here is an old time specimen from the Gil Griffin collection that has held up well. This is a California locality piece with value for the location, but I have not seen a better Laumontite from anywhere, even with the massive quantities of Indian specimens. This is a huge nearly 9 cm crystal which is not has a perfect termination but is also twinned. This one displays well and is a must for the California suite. Ex Al McGuinness, Ex Gil Griffin collection, from the Costa Mesa California 12/21/2004 misc mineral Gallery at $225. |
