Picropharmacolite (very rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

A very rare specimen from this famous and historic silvery producing district in Bohemia. The piece hosts silky fibrous aggregates and small acicular crystals of white Picropharmacolite measuring up to 4 mm across sitting on matrix. Under UV light, the piece actually shows a greenish fluorescence. A hard to find specimen in today's market. This is the only piece of this material that we've had to offer, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
