Chevkinite-(Ce) (ex Obodda)

Item Description

Chevkinite-(Ce) is a rare REE silicate, with the world's finest examples probably coming from this obscure Pakistan locality. This piece hosts rather lustrous, sharp, terminated crystals measuring up to 1.7 cm with additional smaller, broken crystals and minor Albite off. This is fairly a showy and highly representative example of the rare species and uncommon locale, despite a bit of damage here and there. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock, valued at $600 originally
