Item Description
Gormanite is an ultra-rare phosphate. Most crystals are small and are usually associated with the Yukon, Canada Co-Type Localities - Rapid Creek and Big Fish River. One side of this showy and very rich, two-sided specimen consists of sparkly, sea-green, gormanite microcrystals covered by scintillating, gemmy, two-toned siderite microcrystals. Small but bright! The knobby "B" side of the quartz matrix is totally covered with siderite crystals.
