MD-238792 - Armenite - - Archived Isenwegg, Wasen Alp, Ganter valley, Simplon pass area, Brig, Wallis (Valais), Switzerland miniature, 3.2 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm.
3.2 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm. Armenite is exceptionally uncommon, especially in large euhedral crystals. This piece has glassy, lustrous, white crystals of armenite to 1.3 cm on matrix of smaller crystals. This is a rare hydrated, barium, calcium, aluminum silicate from the famous Simplon Pass, in Switzerland. This fine specimen was found in a freak and lucky find of the early 1990s.
MZTN-10 - Armenite - $ 900 SOLD Simplon Pass, Wasen Alps, Valais, Switzerland thumbnail, 1.8 x 1.3 x 0.7 cm ex. Martin Zinn
This large, well formed armenite crystal, is a major example for the species of huge size and unusual transparency. The crystal is terminated, though hoppered out in back of the termination. This species is a rare, hydrated, barium, calcium, aluminum silicate. Usually micros and ugly, this locality produces crystals like this, rarely, which are lustrous and translucent. But this size is still uncommon. Purchased in 2001 and most likely from a small pocket that turned up at the Munich show in 2000, this is a world class example of the specie sand a competition-level thumbnail for significance points. And it is not as ugly as most!

T07-65 - Armenite - $ 2400 Simplon Pass, Wasen Alps, Valais, Switzerland miniature, 3.2 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm
Armenite is exceptionally uncommon, especially in large euhedral crystals. This piece has glassy, lustrous, white, crystals of armenite, to 1.3 cm on matrix of smaller crystals. This is a rare, hydrated, barium, calcium, aluminum, silicate from the famous Simplon Pass, in Switzerland. This owuld be one of the better specimens found in a freak and lucky find of the early 1990s. I have sene others from that find, but ONLY singles before, and none on matrix for sale. I believe this to be a real prize, and not just a little overpriced white rock! All Content and Design ©1996-2010 The ArkenstonePowered by http://mineralwebsites.comBy-species Galleries | ||||||||||
