Item Description

A good specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of a wonderful, sharp, lustrous, translucent, layered, green crystal groups on cubic Pyrite matrix. There are truly about 5 localities in the world the produce fine crystallized Ludlamite specimens, and ALL of them, except for Huanuni are now defunct. PLEASE NOTE: There have been no more of these specimens found in the last 7-8 years from this mine, and it is a possibility there will never be any more, so don't miss out on a very good quality piece from a classic Bolivian locality. A very attractive and impressive miniature specimen for any collector.
