3D59 - Zektzerite (TL) & Arfvedsonite on Feldspar - $ 125 Washington Pass, Okanogan County, Washington, USA thumbnail, 2.7 x 2.2 x 1.8 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
First, the a .4 cm white hexagonal tabular crystal of the very rare Zektzerite. Add to that a sharp crystal of Arfvedsonite: it’s a .8 cm hexagonal prism, with superb luster and perfect edges. Now, either one of these by themselves would be a treat to own, but to have them together on the same specimen and so aesthetically paired is very hard to come by
GEMS-100B - Zektzerite - $ 2800 SOLD Washington Pass, Golden Horn Batholith, Okanogan Co., Washington, USA thumbnail, 11.1 x 6 mm , 1.62 carats
A very rare, fine, gem cut from type locality material collected at Washington Pass sometime after the original find. It is one of the finest cut stones, surely - certainly the best tha tany of my contacts have seen. it is a large, very nicely colored, pink/lavender oval zektzerite that is 1.62 carats and 11.1 x 6 mm size. i obtained a small stash collected about 12 years ago from a private collector. the best of his crystals have more color than any i have seen in the past which came from the famous find by Jack Zektzer. Only one was really a cutter , and it turned out well.

TUC115-155 - Zektzerite - $ 2150 Washington Pass, Okanogan County, Washington, USA thumbnail, 3.1 x 2 x 1.9 cm ex. Jack Zektzer
This is a relatively large crystal for the species, from a rare and one-off find of this very rare species (circa 1976). You will almost never see a matrix example for sale, let alone one with such a large crystal! They are extremely uncommon today on the market, and ONLY come from this locality in good crystals of note. The crystal has an off-white color, and is translucent. It fluoresces blue under UV light. I purchased this in Seattle from associates of Jack Zektzer who collected the area with him and then hoarded these for several decades.
