MD-169959 - Glaucodot - - Archived Håkansboda, Lindesberg, Västmanland, Sweden miniature, 3.3 x 2.7 x 2.6 cm.
3.3 x 2.7 x 2.6 cm. A remarkable and LARGE, 40-gram crystal of this rare complex iron-cobalt sulfide. It is complete all around except for a contact on the bottom and one small contact or old damage in a 7 x 5 mm edge on one face. It is geometric and very 3-dimensional, displayable from 3 sides thus. Ex. Phillipstad Museum Collection in Sweden (over 50 years ago).
MD-170117 - Glaucodot - - Archived Håkansboda, Lindesberg, Västmanland, Sweden thumbnail, 1.0 cm.
2.0 X 1.4 X 1.0 cm. This is an uncommon, cobalt rich, sulfosalt crystal. It is well formed, has high, metallic luster, and exhibits a battleship gray color. Crackly but not cracked and repaired, it’s an important old piece! Ex. Carl Bosch, Dr. Gary Hansen, and Smithsonian Institution Collections.
MD-37831 - Glaucodot - - Archived Håkansboda, Lindesberg, Västmanland, Sweden thumbnail, 1.9 x 1.8 x 1.6 cm
For the species, a cobalt-containing sulfide, this pair of penetrating crystals are absolutely choice. It is a floater and is complete all around save for the most minor of wear on a few edges. For lustre and 3-dimensional form, this is top quality....Rarely do you see Glaucodots this sharp and well-defined, and the bright metallic luster caps it off. Like so many of her rarities, this is competition-quality for sure. 1.9 x 1.8 x 1.6 cm

RARE08-56 - Glaucodot - $ 4200 SOLD Hakansboda, Vastmanland, Sweden miniature, 3.3 x 2.7 x 2.6 cm
A remarkable and LARGE, 40-gram crystal of this rare complex iron-cobalt sulfide. It is complete all around except for a contact on the bottom and one small contact or old damage in a 7 x 5 mm edge on one face. It is geometric and very 3-dimensional, displayable from 3 sides thus. Most crystals I have seen are thumbnails, 1 cm or so, maybe 5-10 grams max. A 40-gram whopper like this, I have not seen for sale. It turned up at Munich with a collection dispersal, and the collector's notes said he had exchanged it from the Phillipstad Museum in Sweden (over 50 years ago). The photos just do not convey how good this is. It looks like a pyrite crystal with carrollite color. Its really bright, really big, and really important. For the price, you get a killer sulfide of super rarity in this quality!
