4.4 x 3.4 x 2.3 cm. Marshite is almost never available to collectors, with most specimens either lost to the ages or already in museums. This is a very rich specimen, obviously validated, which I exchanged from the South Australian Museum last year (2008). The Museum label accompanies the piece. This piece features hundreds of sub-mm but ...

3 x 1.8 x 1.6 cm. A superb, sharp, eye-visible and easily seen, 2 mm crystal of this extremely rare copper iodide species sits perched on contrasting green antlerite. This crystal is gemmy, sharp, and easy to see. It is an excellent reference specimen of this, one of the more ultimate Chuquicamata rarities. Ex. John White Collection.

This specimen is comprised almost entirely of crystalline marshite. The marshite crystals owe their lively red color to rich inclusions of bright red chalcotrichite. The marshite is very well crystallized, consisting of a dense network of lustrous, translucent red crystals that range in size to approximately 1mm. Although the crystals are quite ...

Let me start off by saying that this specimen is way, WAY better than these pictures show. This specimen is a gorgeous cluster of sharply crystallized native copper crystals in association with deep red cuprite that hosts a very rich showing of microcrystalline marshite that richly covers the specimen's broad face. The native copper crystals that ...
