Aheylite (Type Locality) on Wavellite ex Kosnar collection

Item Description

Extremely rare (four localities worldwide), there are about a half-dozen tiny 1-mm-size balls of Aheylite on this near-perfect sphere of radial Wavellite. Not surprisingly, the Aheylite, a phosphate, is isostructural with Turquoise, which it resembles in texture and color. An outstanding thumbnail for form and rarity, this was originally priced at $150.
