Description
This dramatic and colorful, one inch tall (2.5 cm), sharply formed Augelite crystal stands proudly on a well-trimmed Quartz crystal matrix. It comes from the personal collection of the family who mined the best of them. The crystal is a translucent, bright seafoam-green with gemmy areas and razor-sharp edges that is nicely terminated. It is nestled perfectly amongst more than a dozen glassy, gemmy to translucent, stubby Quartz crystals to 1 cm in length, making for a competitive level aesthetic specimen of this rare phosphate species. These Augelites from Mundo Nuevo are considered the world's best of species, and came out in the mid 2000s from a few small pockets. Well-balanced and great aesthetics, unlike so many. Now, they are hard to find in such size and condition - but they always were. We sold all of our initial specimens years ago and only recently purchased this from the family, long after the time they came out, in a massive chunk of rock - the trim is a lucky bit of work!

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.
