Ludlamite

Item Description

This is a very good specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of wonderful, sharp, lustrous, translucent, beautiful green, layered / "fan-shaped" crystal group forming a "spray" of Ludlamite with associated Siderite and Pyrite on matrix. The Ludlamite crystal group measures 2.2 cm across. There are truly about 5 localities in the world the produce fine crystallized Ludlamite specimens (i.e., Cornwall, Santa Eulalia, Trepca, Blackbird Mine in Idaho), and ALL of them, except for Huanuni and now defunct. PLEASE NOTE: There have been no more of these specimens found in virtually 10 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.
