The last of only two of these we were able to acquire recently. I want to say right off that the photos DO NOT capture the unbelievable iridescent rainbow flash of this extraordinary specimen - and therefore we will GUARANTEE satisfaction to the winner of this auction! The true colors flashing across the face of this botryoidal limonite specimen are amazing greens, reds and golds that the camera could not pick up. The luster is an intense, almost wet look. Saw one dealer with a few of these at a show this year and bought the best of them. The first one was hotly bid on, and we are sure the winner will be thrilled when he sees the unbelievable look of this mineral! This one is equally good - so dazzling it hardly looks natural! 14 x 7 x 4 cm
