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 crystals have 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. This is a very fine cluster of crystals and the frontal view is pristine. The crystals are small, but they are colorful, sharp and gemmy. A very highly representative example. Valued at $250-300.
