Item Description

This is a great small cabinet sized association specimen of a the rare hydrated calcium magnesium iron aluminum beryllium phosphate, Zanazziite from a world-famous locality. This piece hosts translucent, olive-green radial, crystal groups of the Zanazziite measuring up to 3 mm, which are associated with, thin bladed, golden-brown crystals of Eosphorite on Albite. Overall, the specimen is in good shape, though I can see a few contacts with a loupe. The piece was mined in the mid 1970s. These are the best Zanazziite specimens in the world, and they are often found associated with Eosphorite.
