Description:The famous Trimouns Quarry in France was probably the best known locality for Bastnasite-(Ce) in the world until Zagi Mountain came along. These fairly new specimens have simply redefined the species for size and quality of crystals. This thumbnail specimen is a rich honey-orange color hexagonal crystal group of Bastnasite-(Ce) with fairly sharp faces and decent luster. The back of the piece is slightly contacted, but is still good quality for the species. It seems as though this locality has produced less and less of these outstanding specimens over the last few years, and if you don't have one in your collection, just keep in mind that these crystals are superb for what they are.
