Item Description

Agardite is an uncommon hydrated REE-arsenate that is RARE from the Pomba Pit at the famous magnesite deposits at Brumado. Pretty mint-green agardite clusters are richly scattered on the 3-dimensional hematite-tinted quartz matrix, that is nearly entirely covered with a sparkly secondary drusy quartz overgrowth. VERY RARE and colorful combination material from the Matioli Collection. A must for the locality or species collector.
