Item Description
This is a nice little specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of wonderful, sharp, translucent, lustrous, deep green, layered crystal groups of Ludlamite with minor matrix. 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 since around 2002 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.
