Item Description
A cool reference piece of the famous rare Parisite-(Ce) specimens from the Snowbird Mine in Montana.

These pieces came out circa 1955, and are VERY difficult to find on the market. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016). David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
