Item Description

A cool association specimen featuring micro brown crystals of the rare phosphate Laueite associated with white needles of another rare phosphate Strunzite, plus crystals of blocky Whitlockite for which the Palermo No. 1 Mine is the type locality. Nearly impossible to find on the market. There is also another unidentified olive-green mineral as well. I'm sure a Palermo expert out there can tell us what it is.
