Dickthomssenite (very rare) with Metarossite

Item Description

Dickthomssenite is a very rare hydrated magnesium vanadate only found in a few localities in Utah and Colorado. This piece is from the Blue Cap Mine in San Juan County and features micro greenish-yellow crystals of Dickthomssenite which according to the label is associated with Metarossite. The label also states that there is Lasalite on the specimen, and after looking under the microscope, I found one orange spot that COULD be Lasalite, but I'm not 100% certain. With that said, specimens of this material are virtually impossible to obtain on the market, and if you're a rare species collector, you can't afford to miss out on this beautiful association piece from Utah. We have used a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality of the crystals.
