Item Description

These are some of the best Augelite crystals from Bolivia to hit the mineral market in a long time. This piece features several fine, sharp, lustrous, colorless to white, gemmy to translucent crystals of Augelite measuring up to 3 mm associated with minor Quartz and octahedral Pyrite on matrix. The quality of the Augelite crystals is very good and they are certainly decent sized for this mine. This rare phosphate mineral is not seen often in any format from any locality on the market.
