Description
Veszelyite from this amazing discovery literally shocked the mineral world and produced the most amount of this rare species ever seen in one place! Brought out by Polish dealer Tomek Prazkier, this was one of the best of the best of 2019 finds, held back in his private collection of company projects, at the time they came out. It is rich, huge, and saturated with color. The minor blue-green associated mineral is Kipushite. In person, it is dark but not too dark, and radiates a saturated blue color back at the viewer. Essentially, this is a huge pocket of color, a deeper blue than azurite, and one of the richest well-crystallized examples of the species you will see. Botryoidal rounded material, and large plates with tiny crystals, also came out of China at coincidentally the same time. However, they generally lack the richness and impact of this specimen.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
