Item Description
Hydroxylherderite is a rare calcium, beryllium phosphate usually found in pegmatites and is occasionally found in the Shigar Valley. This is a pretty mint-green, reasonally well-formed, translucent and lustrous crystal. Two caverns add character and two edge faces are lightly coated. A fine, interesting looking example of this uncommon species from this locale from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
