Item Description

Attention rarities collectors, here's a great one for all of you. Here we have a pair of specimens of the complex neosilicate Hydroxylellestadite from the type locality in Japan. We've only had a few of these over the years, and if you collect rare species or minerals from the type locality, don't miss out on this opportunity. Both specimens feature a great coverage pale lavender-pink Hydroxylellestadite on matrix. These are more than a reference pieces, and nearly impossible to find on the market these days. The pieces are accompanied by a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
