Minyulite (very rare) (ex Josef Vajdak)

Item Description

Minyulite is a very rare hydrated potassium aluminum phosphate that is found in just over two dozen localities around the world. The first material found was from Australia, and the species gets its name from the type locality, the Minyulo Well in Western Australia. This particular piece comes to us from the lesser known locality at the La Floquerie Quarry in France. The piece features small, light green "needle"-like acicular "sprays" of Minyulite on matrix. We have photographed the specimen with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality and enhance the detail. This is the only piece of this material that we have to offer and comes with a classic label from Josef Vajdak / Pequa Rare Minerals, which immediately increases the value.
