Despujolsite (ultra rare sulfate - New Find)

Item Description

Despujolsite Is an ultra rare hydrated calcium manganese sulfate, found in only three localities worlwide. The gemmy, slightly flattened, hexagonal crystal has pretty and typical, intense yellow-green color. The small find of these crystals, at the recent Tucson Show, was a very interesting, subtle surprise. These crystals several orders of magnitude more important than any previously found. This is a world class find for the species, whether few of us have ever heard of it. The termination is gently bruised, but this remains a rarity and thus a highly representative example. Valued at $200-250.
