MD-171842 - Warwickite - - Archived Amity, Town of Warwick, Orange Co., New York, USA cabinet, 14.5 x 11.0 x 5.5 cm.
14.5 x 11.0 x 5.5 cm. I am told that this is one of the best examples from this type locality that is extant, a rich specimen with dozens on dozens of rounded crystals exceeding 1 cm in size! I cannot say it is the most beautiful mineral from Amity, but it is certainly a significant specimen nonetheless. Ex. James Madison University and Rice Northwest Museum collections. [Analysed specimen, see http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-103029.html]
RICE-20 - Warwickite - $ 900 SOLD Amity, Orange Co., New York (TYPE LOCALITY) cabinet, 14.5 x 11.0 x 5.5 cm ex. James Madison University ex. Rice Northwest Museum
I am told that this is one of the best examples from this type locality that is extant, a rich specimen with dozens on dozens of rounded crystals exceeding 1 cm in size! I cannot say it is the most beautiful mineral from Amity, but it is certainly a significant specimen nonetheless. Comes with old University label. I am told by an East Coast collector friend that this is as sexy as they get: The ones from (a small find done in the course of further research here) 13 years prior make the one you have look like a beauty contest winner. They were typically elongated and not 3-dimensional crystals. I have one, and would send it out as leaverite if i did not know better. This one is better...and it comes from JMU, a very trusted source All Content and Design ©1996-2010 The ArkenstonePowered by http://mineralwebsites.comBy-species Galleries | ||||
