Description

This is a rarity for collectors. This arborescent Glaukosphaerite from Kasompi Mine is an excellent 30 mm x 18 mm x 12 mm specimen of light to medium green. It is found in a deposit of rare-earths minerals such as schuilingite-(Nd) and gyisinite-(Nd). The find is documented on the web. Truly unusual, and so rare that this is the only specimen we found in a week of searching at the Tucson show. One only!
