Senegalite with Turquoise (ex Van Tichelen and Zinn Collections)

Item Description

A gorgeous and richly packed specimen of sparkling crystals of the rare hydrated hydroxy aluminum phosphate, Senegalite featuring electric yellow-green crystals which have grown within thin layers of stark sky blue Turquoise in Limonite matrix. The color and quality are great. This is quite a rare species, found in only two places in the world, and this piece is from the type locality! The piece comes with a label from the Wouter Van Tichelen Collection, which states it was once part of Marty Zinn's collection.
