Item Description
Sincosite and minylite are rare hydrated phosphates. Minyulite is EXTRMELY RARE from this well-known locale. Clusters of lustrous green platelets of sincosite richly cover matrix and are contrasted by the four sprays of acicular snow-white minyulite on this showy and rich thumbnail example. Exceptional rarity, quality and richness for this find (early 1990s by Tom Loomis), and such are very scarce on the market today. Ex Harold Urish Collection and obtained in a trade with Tom Loomis at Tucson in 1998.
