Cervandonite specimens for sale

Cervandonite is a phosphate mineral consisting of calcium, zinc, phosphate and hydroxide. It typically forms in small, prismatic to tabular crystals with a subdued luster and a color range that can be colorless to pale yellow or greenish hues, depending on impurities. The mineral’s habit and pale coloration make it a subtle but distinctive addition to a cabinet, often appearing in compact aggregates within hydrothermal veins and pegmatites. Notable specimens have been reported from Switzerland and Italy, where it occurs in association with other phosphate minerals and zinc-bearing minerals, and where collectors may encounter well-formed crystals embedded in matrix.
