Item Description
A very rarely seen specimen of the sodium magnesium vanadate, Lasalite from the type locality which gets its name from the district in Utah in which it was first found. This piece features small bright orange monoclinic crystal groups of Lasalite associated with minor silvery-black Corvusite on host rock matrix. For rare species collectors, you don't have many opportunities to purchase piece of a brightly colored species from the type locality, so don't miss out on this one. Ex Paolo Matioli Collection.
