Item Description

Parasymplesite, a member of the Vivianite Group, is an uncommon phosphate. The habit here is absolutely classic for the species. The crystals are radial, fan-like sprays with a pleasant olive green color. The largest fan is about 1 cm across, and the soft green color is complemented nicely by the Limonite matrix. A very good, aesthetic specimen that well-represents the species, and not just for Mapimi. valued $900
