You are bidding on a choice specimen of extremely rare blue kosnarite rhombohedrons in a couple quartz cavitites from the type locality. This is a very rare specimen and the last one I currently have. This material is many times rarer than the Brazilian specimens and this is a top specimen with beautiful, sharp bright blue crystals!
