BETTER In PERSON! We had two of these amazing limonite specimens in auctions awhile back. We put two really nice ones in the auctions awhile back, they were fiercely bid on. But that was all we had. We spent 4 months after that trying to track down the Chinese guy who had them, and by the time the Tucson Show rolled around, we had found him and arranged to meet him in Tucson. There, he had about 65 specimens - the great majority of which were ugly, but some of which had the amazing irridescence you see here. We had to buy the entire lot of 65 to get the good ones - which was hard to bite off, but we did it. So here you have it, with an amazing iridescence that does NOT come out in the pics (you can see the luster, but not the color, which in color is an unreal-looking metallic red and green). Note that we did not see ANY MORE of this material at the show, with anybody! 9.7 x 8.1 x 4.0 cm
