Item Description

A VERY RARE combination from this obscure phosphate-arsenate pegmatite. MINDAT does not list parasymplesite, a rare hydrated Fe-arsenate or lollingite from the locale. Three nifty radial starbursts of green parasymplesite needles, to 1.0 cm, are attractively set on the hefty matrix of partially oxide-coated, silver metallic lollingite with interspersed green scorodite. Ex Matioli Collection.
