Description

Another last for this auction, this is my last saleeite specimen. I've searched a lot in the market to find more of those desirable examples, since this locality is by far the best for the species! So far, no collector has a piece that wants to part with, so this is still the last one I have.The piece is a miniature in contrast to the thumbnails I mostly had, with deep yellow-green, the biggest at 0.5 cm across! The piece even has some matrix on it!
