Zykaite (extremely rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

Zykaite is an extremely rare hydrated iron sulfate arsenate and is only found in seven places in the world! This material is nearly impossible to obtain from any locality. Tiny soft green botryoidal aggregates can be seen all over the display side of this incredibly rare specimen. This is the ONLY piece of this material that we've had to offer from this locality, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value. Vajdak's label says that this material is very rare, but I would argue that is EXTREMELY rare. You can read Joe's biography here: http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=1371
