The pic says it all. A KILLER legrandite thumbnail! And, it has great pedigree, carrying the box and label from the collection of Willard "Perky" Perkin, the inventor of the so-called "perky box" for thumbnail specimens. These are irreplaceable - the deposit hasn't yielded legrandite in over 25 years and is not likely to ever again. Fine pieces like this can only go up in value and this IS, without a doubt, a connoisseur-quality thumb!
