Hyalite Opal, Gallatin Co., MT, good quality, great fluorescence, great form(!)

Description

Hyalite Opal, Fluorescent, from Montana! Even though crusts of Hyalite Opal have been known from Montana for decades, good quality specimens are rarely seen on the market from the state. A new claim in Gallatin Co., MT, has recently produced specimens of a quality rare to the state, more reminiscent of classic Mexican and Hungarian Hyalite Opal. I will post a number of these pieces in the upcoming period.
The here presented example is great for the species, as well as Montana as a locality, but also for collectors of Fluorescent minerals. Apologies for the poor photo's, as Hyalite is difficult to photograph, short of a professional photography set up, leave alone out of hand with a Phone camera....
This specimen is 32 grams, or 1.2 OZ, two inch in length. As the photo's show, this piece is of extraordinary formation, with great clear botryoidal formation and clarity, as well as great Fluorescence.
Please be advised, I ship with Priority shipping, small box.
