Item Description
Palermoite is a very rare phosphate, first found in 1952 at this type locality for the species. To date, it has been found at just a few other locales, and still these crystals are the best. This piece has micro, striated, prismatic, colorless gem quality Palermoite crystals along with white tabular hexagonal crystals of Fluorapatite with minor tan groups of Goyazite on Quartz crystal matrix.
