Wardite

Item Description

Wardite is a relatively rare phosphate, and some of the most beautiful (and well known) crystals of the material are found in the Yukon Territory. This area is only accessible for a few months per year and is rather treacherous terrain for collecting specimens. This piece is hosts of some very attractive, sharp, lustrous, tetragonal crystals of Wardite on matrix. The largest Wardite measures 1.1 cm across. It's not 100% perfect, as there are some contacts, but it's still in good shape overall. I have not seen many of these specimens on the market in the last few years, so don't pass this one up.
