Item Details
Description
Locality: Avant Mine, Garland County, Arkansas. Size Class: Cabinet. Collection: Jack and Judy Farnham Collection. Wavellite from this single small quarry in Arkansas has long been considered the world's best of species material, for the deep green color and sheer size of the botryoidal crystal clusters. This is a very large, important specimen of beautiful crystal clusters, joined together in a "sculpture." It is, remarkably, without repair or restoration. This is thought to be a very old specimen from the heyday here of the 1940s-1950s. Certainly nothing like it, has shown up on the market in modern times. This specimen comes with a custom lucite display base. Consigned from a private collection in Louisiana: The Farnhams were noted for their large collection consisting entirely of classic USA localities in large sizes. Size 12.6 x 6.0 x 5.7 cm.
