Item Description

This is a very good specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of wonderful, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, green, layered crystal groups of Ludlamite with tan Siderite on Pyrite matrix. The Ludlamite crystal measures 12 mm long. There are truly about 5 localities in the world the produce fine crystallized Ludlamite specimens, and ALL of them, except for Huanuni and now defunct. PLEASE NOTE: There have been no more of these specimens found in the last 7 years from this locality, and it is a possibility there will never be any more, so don't miss out on a good quality piece from a classic Bolivian locality.
