Hi everyone, I’m trying to gather some information about this meteorite from my uncle’s old collection
My uncle has been a collector for many years and used to buy pieces at auctions. He originally had two meteorites: one very large specimen that we know was from Sweden, and this smaller one shown here. Unfortunately, he is quite old now and no longer remembers where this particular piece came from or any details about the auction where he bought it.
This specimen weighs around 1.05 kg (about 1050 grams). That’s basically all the information I currently have about it.
I’d really appreciate any opinions regarding identification, possible classification, or even guesses about its origin. Thanks in advance for any help!
My uncle have 5/6 dioptase all bigger than this one from tsumeb mine and from Congo , but this one didn’t have the card of its provenance and nothing associated, but it looks like a dioptase.
My uncle did trips to tucson, Montana, morroco and more places and he found a lot of stuff I was passing trough his collector and found this in one box can someone tell me which one corresponds to which letter ?
My guess is a kind of malaquite from or tsumeb mine Namíbia or Katanga or kolwezi Congo but I’m not sure….
It’s from my uncle collection and he lost the paper that identifies…
I want to know the price of something like this because I have the opportunity to buy one to mount but I don’t want to be scammed
It was found in Portugal some 40 years ago where is sitting now the airport
Was found in Portugal, I’m sure that it is from a dino but which one ahah ?
