Item Description

A good representative specimen of the potassium calcium rare earth silicate, Miserite mixed with Wollastonite. The pink Miserite actually fluoresces a yellow color under UV light. This stuff is rare, and specimens are few and far between. A great opportunity for a species collector to pick up a good specimen for a systematic collection. Ex Paolo Matioli and Mineral Unlimited specimen.
