Aegirine Magnet Cove, Hot Spring Co., Arkansas, USA...
Aegirine Magnet Cove, Hot Spring Co., Arkansas, USA "A 4 cm black prismatic crystal with a long pointed termination on a bit of matrix. Traded this specimen from the George Vaux collection at Bryn Mawr when Harold Arndt was curator." - Rock H. Currier As a general rule, Aegirine is not the first thing that comes to mind when Magnet Cove specimens are being discussed. It isn't even the second. Which means that there aren't a lot of these out there. Chances are, there were more of them available when George Vaux was busy 'hoovering up' loose specimens from around the globe. A custom acrylic base and the original collection label accompany this unusual Vaux specimen. Overall Measurements: 1.8 x 1.2 x 1.2 inches (4.5 x 3.0 x 3.0 cm) Offered at no reserve Provenance: Ex. Bryn Mawr College, Ex. George Vaux Collections [RHC #2820, acquired 1972] [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
