Item Description

Striking, large, globular botryoids of lavender pink phosphosiderite on this impressive, sculptural 360-degree nodule from this most obscure phosphate mineral locality in Chile. The back of the piece is richly covered with light brown Crandallite, another phosphate species. Both minerals are earthy, with matte luster. Ex John Dagenais Collection, a well-known Canadian collector. He passed away in 2022. A RARE, rich and uncommonly showy combination of the phosphate species from the little known small locality.
