Description

Perfect small miniature of tincalconite crystals. A group of elongated candid white crystals with the typical powdery - yet solid - texture. One of the most well preserved tincalconite I have ever seen. Most pics had to be underexposed, as the specimen is so white it made the details undiscernible. Therefore the lucky winner will realise in person how bright the specimen is.
All crystals are in mint conditions and greatly preserved in its original Perky box, including the original label and sticker. I acquired this specimen at the Tucson Show 2018 as part of the 'Jim' Thomas collection.

Reported sizes refer to the specimen and not to the Perky box.
