Item Description
Here we have a specimen of this rare iron phosphate consisting of a sharp, translucent, lustrous, green, layered crystal group of Ludlamite sitting on a matrix of sparkling metallic golden Pyrite. The Ludlamite group measures 10 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 7-8 years from this locality, 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.
