Item Description
Strengite is an uncommon iron phosphate. This showy and excellent specimen is from a well-known locality in Bavaria. Lustrous, translucent, lavender strengite crystals to 5 mm richly and attractively line two vugs in the sculptural wedge of matrix. Many other rare phosphates are found at this unusual German pegmatite locale. Ex Howard Belsky Collection.
