Item Description
This is a very good specimen of this remarkably rare iron phosphate consisting of a wonderful, sharp, lustrous, gemmy, green, spherical crystal group sitting atop lustrous golden Siderite. The Ludlamite crystal group measures 12 mm across. There are truly about 5 localities in the world the produce fine crystallized Ludlamite specimens, and ALL of them, except for Huanuni and now defunct. PLEASE NOTE: There have been no more of these specimens found in the last 7 years from this locality, and it is a possibility there will never be any more, so don't miss out on a good quality piece from a classic Bolivian locality.
