Item Description
A very rare specimen of intergrown vauxite stalactites from the famous Type Locality. The sparkly, translucent microcrystals are cornflower-blue and the large hollow in the center is amazing. The bulbous end is, in fact, terminated. Contacting is noted, but this remains a singularly rare and fine example of the very rare phosphate species. Probably older material, but no proof.
