Item Description
Bastnesite-(Ce) is a RARE cerium carbonate with the very finest examples coming from Zagi Mountain. A 1.5 x 1.2 x 1.2 cm, textbook hexagonal crystal is very aesthetically perched on the gneiss matrix. The yellow-brown crystal has a nifty, lustrous, translucent termination face above the frosted prim faces. A fine display quality matrix miniature of this rare species. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
