Item Description

An exceptionally rich example of Scholzite, a rare, hydrated Ca-Zn Phosphate. This is a very impressive, small cabinet specimen, with striking sprays of gemmy, acicular crystals to about 4 mm. These radial sprays cover virtually the entire presentation side, and they are in remarkably good condition. This well-represents the finest examples of the species that come from this well-known Australian zinc and phosphorus mine, which was worked for a few years in the 1970s by Chris Johnson. From our special collection sale, direct to auction, of choice material from the collection of Richard Rossi, East Coast collector and Mineralogical Record Fellow.
