Item Description
A sharp and complete 2.2-cm twinned phosphophyllite cluster sits on this extremely well-trimmed matrix of siderite! Phospho is one of those holy grails of mineral collecting.Most of us never see and handle a real one?they are vanishingly rare, in complete crystals, on matrix. this is an exquisite example for which I paid $3000 in trade at one time, because you so seldom see anything in this price range that is so outstanding.
