Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Phosphophyllite
Locality: Unificada Mine, Cerro de Potosí (Cerro Rico), Potosí City, Potosí Department, Bolivia (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: miniature, 3.9 x 2.1 x 1.7 cm
Phosphophyllite (twinned) on matrix
This rare matrix specimen is a full miniature, from the Bill Larson collection. I do not think you will find another on the market with the quality, color, and lustre, not to mention the size. It is GORGEOUS and spews color out from the shelf. The upswept wings of the twin, encompassing a knoll of matrix between, makes for a dramatic display. There is one VERY clean , seamless repair to the smaller left wing, which is otherwise pristine. These were found in the 1940s and although some more have trickled out recently from reqorking old adits, nothing of this calibre has emerged that I have seen. THERE IS NO COLOR IN MINERALS LIKE THAT OF A PHOSPHO!!!
