Description
In the last decade, the Halite and Sylvite combinations from New Mexico have created quite a sensation, and justifiably so. On this good toenail, the roles are reversed, with the dominant crystal being a 2.1 cm Sylvite. The crystal is quite gemmy, with a somewhat silky luster that subtly shows just how clear the crystal really is. Embedded in the base are several gemmy, blue Halites up to about 2 mm on edge. This is a very good, sharp and competitive specimen of a species that just simplky does not give us good specimens from many places...and no more are coming out. A competitive thumbnail (large toenail/boxbuster size, or a small miniature) and species rarity, this is aesthetic and interesting. See The Mineralogical Record, Vol. 44, #1.

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.
