Item Description
Mrazekite is a very rare Bismuth, Copper, Hydroxy Phosphate species that is only found less than 10 worldwide localities. The stunning cerulean blue color is very eye-catching, despite the smaller size of the crystals. The species is named after a Czech mineralogist named Zdenek Mrazek who first collected it. This piece is from the type locality for the material in Slovakia, and was collected within the last 10 years. I have photographed the Mrazekite under the microscope to better illustrate the quality. A great opportunity to purchase a species that is RARELY offered on the market. If you're a species collector, be sure to get this one!
