Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ludlamite
Locality: San Antonio Mine (San Antonio el Grande Mine), East Camp, Santa Eulalia District, Municipio de Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: miniature, 5.2 x 4.1 x 4 cm
Ludlamite
This famous piece was long held in the Steve Smale Collection, and was photographed many times. It appears in the Encyclopedia of Minerals, and has long been considered by most collectors I have talked to about it to be the epitome of the Mexican ludlamite find from the early 1980s. It has shockingly deep color saturation, which is not just an exaggerated color in the photo. It really IS somewhat more intense in color hue, and in lustre, than nearly all other ludlamites I have seen from this find over the years. All are in major collections, and few come up for sale. Along with a very few specimens from Bolivia, of different crystal morphology in any case, these are the world's best of species to many collectors. And yet, there are so few Mexican ludlamites of high quality that actually came out, and almost none available to the market (in contrast to the more recent Bolivian material). For the material, this would also be considered a very large crystal clustre, aside from its color and lustre qualities. The pedigree is a bonus, the publication a bonus, and I feel the piece is really valued and priced for its intrinsic beauty and quality compared to what else is out there. I believe this to be one of the top specimens of the species to which a collector could aspire to own, hands down. Joe Budd photo
