Hematite termite twinned Adularia from any locality

twinned Adularia from any locality

The most distinctive feature of the piece is that it hosts the single largest crystal of Hopeite that we’ve seen from this locality

as it is one of the iconic and historically significant minerals out there

and I don’t know specifically when they were found

George Robertson collection

Hematite termite twinned Adularia from any localityThis is a nice representative thumbnail specimen from one of the most storied and well known districts in Colorado. This particular specimen features botryoidal Hematite groups forming a good, full sized thumbnail. The quality is nice for this particular kind of Hematite from the area, and the piece is crystallized all the way around save the bottom where it detached from the pocket. Specimen# CO712B192
