Item Description

Rockbridgeite and phosphosiderite are rare phosphates. Glassy spherical aggregates of bright reddish-orange phosphosiderite blades fringe sculptural vugs lined with green, matte-finish, rockbridgeite botryoids. There are two more vugs on the back of the piece. A rare example of the classic phosphates from this locality, which are seldom seen as anything but smudges. Yet, this piece is actually quite rich and attractive. Ex. Charlie Key. Valued at $200.
