Encased in a glass dome with wood base are several blood red crystal clusters on a gray tombstone shaped matrix of the rare Galkhaite from its classic locality the Getchell Mine in Nevada!
Ex. George Kamin Collection
Includes the original Excalibur Mineral Company collection label.
The base is constructed of a solid wood that I finished with multiple dark walnut wood stains and top sealant coats. The glass dome is secured with a high quality silicone gel. Non-slip pads have been affixed to the base for a solid foundation. I have included a custom label on the bottom of the base listing the rare mineral specimen included with the locales:
GALKHAITE
Locality: North Pit, Getchell Mine, Nevada
Chemical Formula: (Cs,Tl)(Hg,Cu,Zn)6(As,Sb)4S12
Weight: 26g (specimen)
Ex. George Kamin Collection

Specimen dimensions: 4.5 x 3.5 x 1 cm
I will slowly be adding more of these displays over time to help fund my new mineral collecting hobby. These rare minerals were personally selected and acquired from well established collections located around the world.
Thank you for viewing and feel free to ask any questions - more photos can also be provided upon request!
