Item Description

Fluornatromicrolite is a rare tantalum oxide with fluorine redefined from "Mircolite" in 1998 and is typically found in pegmatites. This fine and rare small cabinet features a well-placed, good sized, 1.1 cm golden brown color, sharp, lustrous, Fluornatromicrolite octahedron with sitting on Albite with Muscovite. From the personal collection of Herb Obodda (#3603), not from his inventory. This is a RARE species, and crystals of this size and quality are simply not seen on the market in any capacity it seems. Don't miss out on this one if you've been wanting one. No damage. Valued at $1100.
