Item Description

Greenalite is a very rare iron hydroxy silicate that is only found in a few dozen localities in the world. This piece is from the TYPE LOCALITY for the species, and is the only specimen of the material that we've ever had to offer in the auctions, and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
